Comitas Lock-In

Comitas is an overnight lock-in taking place in the Staff Cabin at Camp Weed. Two adult leaders and two college-aged young adult leaders supervise this event. It's a great evening of fun, faith, and fellowship.

Follow the signs that read “Comitas” down the service road, past the chicken coop, climbing wall, field, and cross, behind the haybarn and park in the dirt area outside of Staff Cabin at the bottom of the hill. Check in no later than 8:30pm. No meals will be provided on Saturday night, so have dinner prior to arriving. All participants are required to stay through closing. Participants will turn in keys, cell phones, and medication (if applicable) to the adult leaders upon arrival.

Cost for the lock-in begins at $40 which includes: supplies, 2 meals on Sunday (breakfast & lunch) and overnight accommodations.
