FOURTH ANNUAL GU ALUMNI ESCAPE RETREAT
@ Shepherd's Spring Outdoor Ministry Center, Sharpsburg, MD. Created by a group of alumni in 2005, Alumni ESCAPE is an overnight retreat for Georgetown grads and significant others. Alumni ESCAPE is a non-religious overnight of fun, games, and reflection. It adapts the structure of Georgetown's ESCAPE program as we will take time to reflect together on our lives as young adults-the communities that are important to us, the transitions we've made, and the paths we see ahead of us. The cost for the overnight retreat is $95, which includes program fees, food, snacks, and overnight lodging. All Georgetown alumni and their significant others are invited to attend (you did not have to go on ESCAPE while at Georgetown to attend). Make plans now to join us for Alumni ESCAPE in 2010! Space is limited so register early! Please direct any questions to alumniescape@gmail.com.
