Beyond Adopteen Retreat
A weekend of connection and community!
Adoption connections for all.
Applications now open
Just like all of our other Adopteen events, Beyond Adopteen is shaped by a planning committee of adoptees passionate about creating unique and important community experiences for adoptees.
Planning committee responsibilities:
- Location research
- Program format
- Promotion and outreach
- Event execution
For those planning to catch the Group Shuttle to the retreat grounds, please be sure to fly into Denver International Airport (DIA).
Your flight needs to arrive DIA by 9:30AM on Friday, August 9th, at the latest, in order to give yourself enough time to ride the free train to Union Station and catch the Group Shuttle.Â
For departures, please try your best to find a flight that departs after 12:00PM on Monday, August 12th.Â
A survey will be sent out to all registrants that will allow each to indicate their hobbies, interests, and any roommate preferences (gender, early bird/night owl, etc.) to help our planning committee coordinate shared accommodations. Comfort and safety are our top priority and we will do our best to ensure that each participant is in the best available rooming arrangement possible.
Beyond Adopteen Retreat refund policy is as follows:
- Any cancelation within 31 days prior to Retreat is guaranteed a 100% full refund.
- Any cancelation between 30-14 days prior to Retreat will be refunded to the best of our ability, minus any non-refundables that have already been paid by The Park to any venues and merchants.
- Any cancelation between 13-0 days prior to Retreat will receive 25% refund.
**If a camper is unable to attend Camp-Conference due to any unforeseen emergency or distress before or during Retreat, we will do our best to refund as much as possible.
For fliers joining us on the Group Shuttle at Union Station, you may either book a rideshare to Union Station from Denver International Airport (DIA) or catch the lightrail train (A Line) directly from DIA to Union Station.
