Tentative Schedule:

Saturday, July 29, 2005: Steering Committee and Collegian arrival day. Collegians would gather either Friday night or Saturday morning so that by noon on Saturday, the collegians could begin meeting with each other and the hosts. The day would be broken into four segments: getting to know each other as a group, getting to know the week, getting to know the lay of the land and community time with dinner, prayer and a hang-out time.

 Sunday – Arrival/Training Day:

            1:00-3:00:        Registration/Social/Settling in Time

            3:00-4:00:        Welcome Ceremony/Large Group Icebreakers

Monday -Wednesday: Lasallians would be grouped into groups of three – two Lasallians and 1 ADD client. The groups would then rotate through 4 workshops and lunch

 Thursday – City Day: We wanted to offer the students an experience that was uniquely rural and yet still very exciting. We will be traveling to the Wisconsin State Fair for their opening day. Students will have the entire fair grounds to explore – the animal barns, the amusement park and the millions of food stands featuring every kind of cuisine you can imagine.

 After the State Fair, we would return in late afternoon for Affirmations, Closing Banquet, Closing Ceremony and the dance.

 Friday – Departure Day: After prayer planned by the host school (on the shore of Lake Michigan), we will share our last breakfast and say goodbye.
