Watertown Student Ministries

The Grace Chapel Foxboro campus will be hosting all of our students for the winter retreat! Drop off and morning registration will be at Grace Chapel Lexington at 8 am (except for Foxboro students - check in and registration will be at the Foxboro campus!). 

This is for all of our middles and high school students across all campuses and their friends. 

For students who have registered for the retreat, they are also invited to attend a Friday night campus specific event. More details will come for all of these events as we approach the retreat and will be sent out to those who have registered for the retreat. 

East Lexington & Lexington students will be having a worship night and snacks at the Lexington Campus from 7-8:30pm

Foxboro students will be meeting at the Foxboro campus from 6-9:30pm for a movie, table games, crafts, video games and a pre-retreat gathering. 

Watertown students will be meeting at Shake Shake in Watertown from 5-7pm, bring $15 for dinner. 

Wilmington students stay tuned for the details of the Friday night event.

We are following public school and town guidelines. As such, while we're indoors and on the bus, students and leaders will be required to wear masks at all times and maintain reasonable distance with no physical contact. 

We recognize that the circumstances of every family and volunteer is different, and that no plan will ultimately satisfy everyone in our community. Please know, however, that we are working diligently to explore every option available to us, that we remain guided by the medical science of our government health officials and our in-house medical professionals. We are prepared to make adjustments along the way if the public health conditions or other variables change over time. We do also have air filtration systems in our large meeting spaces.

Contact Tracing: we do have a contract tracing procedure in place for when our students attend an event (such as the retreat) and subsequently test positive with Covid. Please know that you can email   to inform our Safety Team that someone has tested positive and our Safety Team will follow up to perform the necessary steps for contact tracing. They will follow up with anyone who may have been exposed to inform them. For more information about our Covid safety protocols, please visit: https://www.grace.org/covidsafety/

Developing Symptoms at the Event: For the retreat, where participants will be with us for an extended period of time and appear to be developing multiple COVID symptoms (Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or runny nose, Nausea or vomiting, Diarrhea in any combination, or if they have a fever), they will be discreetly isolated and cared for from the rest of the group until a parent or guardian can pick them up. We know that is not very “fun” for the student if that happens, but this is for your child’s health and the health and well-being of the rest of the group as there will be those with and without vaccination. which will have a combination of those eligible to be vaccinated and those who are not yet eligible.

Refund Policy: In the event that a registered child cannot attend the retreat due to illness or because they are being required to quarantine, a refund will be available up until 12hrs prior to the retreat. There will be no refunds available except in the event of illness or quarantine as mentioned unless we can bring in another student off of a waiting list.  

Ultimately, our goal is to see as many of our students as possible safely back together again in person, so, whatever we do, we do with that desire in mind.
