Various spacious rooms at the Isaiah 40 Foundation.
For five of the six weeks you are on Day Camps. You will live with a family, couple or individual in their house. It is expected that during that time you will attempt to become as much 'a part of the family' as you can.
For the other week you will be staying at a retreat centre, the Isaiah 40 Foundation, for Residential Training. All The travelling team members spend this week together, getting to know each other and the program. Food at Residential is very good and the rooms are spacious.
You will spend times enjoying yourself in evenings and on Saturdays (these are your times off) with billets, travelling and parish teams. It is suggested that at least half your evenings are spent with your billets, getting to know them. This may take the form of a quiet night at home or an evening out. The parish and travelling team will often do something as a group one evening, which is good for bonding the two teams together. Finally, your Travelling Team Members, with whom you are likely to become quite close to over the six weeks, will also want to do something together.
You are responsible for your own financial needs, although, while on Day Camps you will not need to pay for transportation, accommodation or food (unless you choose to go out for a fancy meal). If you are in need of financial assistance, inquire at the Crosstalk Office, using the e-mail below. Participants are welcome to raise money within their parish to assist in their ministry.
