As part of caring for one another during this getaway, please expect to help in some volunteer capacity over the course of the weekend. We will need help with both set-up and clean-up, the welcome table, as well as children's programming and childcare. If you enjoy organizing social events, we also need volunteers to help run Saturday afternoon events (like craft table, outdoor excursions, broom ball) and Saturday evening events (like games, ping pong tournament, etc). There are dozens of ways to contribute to make this a fun weekend for all! If you have any questions about how to volunteer, contact Laura Bullock at laura@ctkcambridge.org.
Volunteer assignments will be distributed the week leading up to the Getaway.

Rides are available for those who need transportation to the Getaway. If you need a ride or can offer a ride, you will be able to indicate as much on your registration. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Laura Bullock.
