  • Name tags

    Please wear your Renew name tag throughout the entire weekend:

    • It is your meal ticket
    • It will be used to match with your child's at Renew Kids pick up
    • It gets you free drip coffee at Blue Hill Coffee & Tea Co.
    • It helps us learn each other's names!
  • Dining Hall Etiquette

    • Please only take the food you intend to eat.
    • Clean up after you finish eating, take dishes to the dish room and pick up any trash/food that drops on the floor.
    • Do NOT fill up water bottles at the cafeteria drink machine. The campus has bottle refill stations in multiple locations.  We will also have individual water bottles available outside session areas.
  • Mother/infant room

    We have multiple spaces for moms with little ones during our Main Session.

    • Mother/Infant Room: A curtain room is located at the back of the main session room—quiet and private for feeding or soothing.

    • Nursery Access: Moms and babies are welcome to spend time in the nursery, equipped with a rocking chair and changing table.

    All sessions will be live-streamed to our YouTube channel, so you won’t miss a moment—no matter which space feels right for you and your little one.
