1. ND Vision June 19-25, 2016

2. What is ND Vision? Summer conference and retreat for high school students. It has both conference and retreat elements (small group conversation, prayer, reflection, keynote speakers, sacraments, and lots of fun)

3. Vision invites the students into a college environment where the levels of responsibility and personal investment are higher than are typically the case in a high school setting

4. Spiritually and personally, students coming to Vision would do well to allow Christ to ask them the question he asked his first disciples in John's Gospel: "What are you looking for?“ Nick Howard ‘16

5. One way of considering others' response to this question is for the students and parents to take a look at Vision blog--Full of Grace--to see some ways in which former Vision Mentors have come to understand Christ's question and the response of faith to grace in their own lives.Full of Grace

6. In a sense, this is the only question we ask the students the entire time they are at Vision. ND Vision promotional video: ALIVEALIVE

8. Travel We will once again travel by Coach Bus. Travel difficulties during the first 5 years have pushed us in this direction the last 3 years. We leave at night on June 19 and return early morning on June 25. Bus allows us to take a larger group of students and we get door to door service. Final cost will be determined by the number of students attending. Last year it was $390 a student.

The conference will cost $425 ($325 plus $100 deposit; will be lower depending on group size). Transportation costs will be determined later.
