This is a weekend to get away from the stress of everyday life and relax, spend quality time with your family. We consider a family as a single person, a couple and a single or couple with children below the age of 18. Guests can check into the hotel beginning at 3pm. Dinner will be served around 6pm. From there you are free to do as you like. There is nothing planned until Saturday dinner. Saturday breakfast will be at the hotel. Lunch will be at a restaurant yet to be determined. It’s your choice whether you join us for a free lunch or go out on your own. We ask that everyone attend dinner on both Friday and Saturday nights. The churches hosting you have put in a lot of work preparing the meals, so we ask you to honor them by attending.
Lodging and meals are provided for this event. Attendance is limited to 15 families and because hotel rooms will only sleep 6 so maximum family size has to be 6.
More specific information will be provided as it becomes available.
If you are an active military patient in treatment or transition at Fort Sam Houston or Fort Cavazos and want to participate in this event, contact Chaplain Hatcher, Fort Sam or Chaplain Gualiva, Ft. Cavazos or your Unit Leader.
