> Prior to TAPT 2011... (For those planning to attend TAPT and have completed and submitted applications. Registrants are also sent a similar letter via mail.)
Dear prospective TAPTster, We have received your registration for our Diocesan Youth Retreat…WELCOME TO TAPT XXIII! I hope you share our joy and enthusiasm for TAPT and I hope you find it a worthwhile experience. Plan to arrive at Camp Lawrence (directions) on Friday, April 8th at 7:00 p.m., (and please no earlier than 6:45). Check in will be in the Dining Hall. Please eat dinner before you arrive. The retreat will conclude at appr. 12:30 p.m. on Sunday April 10th. The TAPT Closing Mass, also known as the "Reunion Mass," is open to guests, including family members and former TAPTsters. Mass begins appr. 11:15, but if guests plan to join us, please arrive early to ensure seating. If you are attending from outside the diocese, please note that Camp Lawrence is on Central Time. In the event of an emergency, please try me on my cel phone first: 219-552-4060, then try Camp Lawrence numbers: (219) 462-8243 or 462-5261. Please click here for a list of items of what to bring and what not to bring. Parents, a licensed nurse will be available on the retreat. If you wish for your child’s medications to be distributed by this nurse, please see the nurse when you check your child in on Friday night. Otherwise, the Diocese of Gary will not be held responsible for the distribution of medications. TAPT is a “smoke free” environment and we ask that you leave all tobacco products at home as there is no smoking on the retreat weekend. If you have not done so already, please make sure you have made your final payment prior to TAPT. While you may bring your payment with you and pay at registration, you can speed up the check-in process by mailing your payment to OYYA in advance*. Please contact me if you have questions about any financial arrangements. If you have not submitted it already, please make sure you complete and mail
the parent/guardian “Diocesan Activity Release Form” to OYYA. We prefer to
collect this in advance to prepare our staff for any and all medications,
allergy, special needs, and food situations, but please do not mail after April 4th (bring it
with you). No
one will be allowed to participate in TAPT without this form.
You can download a PDF copy of the form

Our staff has been working hard to make TAPT XXIII a successful retreat. We hope that you arrive with an open mind and a positive attitude. Above all we ask that you pray for yourself and all of us that we have a successful retreat. God bless you and I’ll be looking forward to seeing you at TAPT! * PLEASE do not mail items after April 4th. Blessings in Christ,
