About G.R.I.T with Grace

G.R.I.T. with Grace is MOTIVATED BY A BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW on leadership skills—encouraging GIRLS to be ROOTED in Christ to IMPACT TOMORROW with GRACE for the Kingdom of God.

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12, NIV)

EVENT DETAILS

All of the details about the event are in the sections below.

Where We Stay

We will all be staying in The Rhode Dorm at Camp Wabanna which is located at 101 Likes Rd. Edgewater, MD 21037.

The Rhode Dorm was built in 2001 and sleeps up to 48 guests in 4 rooms (2 downstairs and 2 upstairs). Each room has 5 bunks (10 beds total for the girls) and 1 semi-private chaperone room with 1 bunk for 2 adults where chaperones assigned to that room will sleep to maintain our two-deep AHG policy.

Each room has an attached shower and bathroom so there is 1 shower per 12 guests. Adult chaperones will have a separate shower schedule when no girls are present in the dorm. The dorm has heat & A/C as well as a meeting room, and 2 porches in the front and back.

Girls should plan to arrive at Camp Wabanna between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 16. Girls should plan to depart at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, February 18.
