Stugo plans school-wide winter retreat
Stugo is holding the all-school winter retreat at Wild Horse Canyon in Central Oregon the three-day weekend of Jan. 13.
The retreat center, the former Rajneeshpuram commune, sits on 100 square miles of land. The center offers hiking, a mountain-top lake, a soccer field, Ultimate Frisbee, tackle football, mountain bike trails, a ropes course and an 88,000-square-foot athletic center.
Under the athletic center's roof are a skate park, pool tables, ping-pong tables, foosball, a workout center, climbing walls and four full-size basketball and volleyball courts.
Tre Wilbanks, Stugo president, said, "[The purpose] is to have fun and to get together as a whole school." The winter retreat is a Multnomah tradition but was cancelled last year because "there wasn't a lot of support expressed," Wilbanks said.
This year, to spark more interest, Stugo is inviting graduate students, faculty, staff and undergraduates to attend. "We'd really like to get some of the professors here at Multnomah to speak at the retreat," Stugo member Dave Bordner said.
Wilbanks said Stugo is planning to set aside a large portion of the retreat for "prayer and worship, especially on Saturday. It's a time to get together as a body of believers and reflect on the last semester."
The retreat will cost $25 for students who make reservations before Christmas break; the price will go up to $30 after the break. The actual cost of the retreat is $70 per person.
Stugo representatives said they need a dozen people to help set up for the retreat. Interested students can contact any Stugo member to volunteer or to get more details about the retreat.
