TAPTsters: Plan to arrive at Camp Lawrence (directions) on Friday, April 1st at 6:00 pm. The check-in process- not the retreat- starts at 6:00, so there is no need to arrive early. To ensure the TAPT team has enough time to prepare, please arrive no earlier than 6:00. Follow directions for check in. Please eat dinner before you arrive. The retreat will conclude at appr. 3:30 pm on Sunday April 3rd.

The TAPT Closing Mass, also known as the “Reunion Mass,” is open to guests, including family members and former TAPTsters. Mass will begin appr. 2:00 on Sunday, but if guests plan to join us, please arrive early to ensure seating. If you are attending from outside the diocese, please note that Camp Lawrence is on Central Time.

The TAPT weekend is a relational journey, and includes carefully-developed progressions that build on one experience after the next. To ensure that TAPTsters get the most out of the retreat, partial attendance is not allowed.

  • Parents, an experienced health professional will be available on the retreat. If you wish for your child’s medications to be distributed by retreat leaders, please tell us when you check your child in on Friday night. Otherwise, the Diocese of Gary will not be held responsible for the distribution of medications.
  • Cost: $90, includes lodging, meals, materials, t-shirt, and other retreat stuff.
  • Teens may only attend a TAPT once. Previous TAPTsters may apply for a position on the leadership team. The application period for the upcoming TAPT retreat is January-mid February.
  • FORMER TAPTSTERS, PARENTS, YOUTH LEADERS: Join us for the closing mass, “Reunion Mass!”
