Retreat Agenda

Update: We are planning to hold the retreat on Saturday afternoon and Sunday Morning, weather permitting. We had record snow this winter and there is still a significant amount of snow in the canyon and major flooding where the snow has melted. In addition, the majority of our crucial retreat team and wranglers are unable to join, mainly due to medical reasons.

We are hoping to still gather, but it is highly unlikely that we will be able to find a group campsite. We strongly suggest making alternate overnight accommodations for Saturday night if possible. For those who still want to camp, please email Melissa at melissa.tehee@usu.edu and we can help you coordinate with others camping. We can also still provide camping gear. A majority of Logan Canyon is overseen by the forest service. The Logan Ranger District can direct you to dispersed camping (usually at no cost) and give updates for the campgrounds.

You can see information on the different campgrounds here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5363810.pdf and stop by the ranger station at 1500 East Highway 89 Logan, Utah 84321 or call them at (435) 755-3620, Monday-Friday 8:00 AM-4:30 PM. We are also checking to see if any dorm rooms are available for Saturday night. We will send out the retreat plans the weekend before the retreat to those registered and on the SIP listserv.

On Sunday at 4pm, we will be gathering in-person on the USU campus for the SIP Business meeting and honoring of our relatives. This will be outdoors at the D Craig Aston Park followed by dinner. This is open to all retreat and convention attendees, not just SIP members.
