Invitation From:
Registration is now open!
Overnight Lock-In:
Laser Tag


What : An overnight lock -in! Join us for an evening of fun and fellowship, laser tag, food, movies, games, (and a small amount of sleep/quiet time too).

When : November 4th at 9:00pm until November 5th at 8:0am

Where : Ulrazone (23520 Overland Drive in Sterling)

Cost : $35 per person (includes admission, pizza, snacks, activities, and unlimited laser tag throughout most of the evening.) Scholarships can be available; please contact Angela to request a scholarship.

 Friends : Due to the popularity of this event and the limited space available, all registrants must be registered members of St. John Neumann Church. On October 28th, any available spots will be opened to friends of SJN members. (Friends must be 6th, 7th, or 8th Graders, must be fully registered for the event online, and must provide the required permission slip and waiver.) Limit to one guest per person.

Chaperones : Are needed! Parents can register as a chaperone for the entire night or for a shift here: CHAPERONE SIGNUP!

What to Bring : More information will be sent out, but participants should wear comfortable clothing and shoes, appropriate for playing laser tag. Participants should also bring a water bottle, sleeping bag, pillow, pajamas (if desired), toothbrush/toothpaste, and anything else needed for spending the night. Some cash is recommended if participant plans to play arcade games as this will not be covered in the registration fee.

Permission Form : A permission form will be emailed to all parents of participants a few days before the event. It will also be available onsite at the event. No one will be permitted to stay without a permission form completed by a legal guardian.

Waiver : In addition to the online registration and permision form, an online waiver is required by Ultrazone. This will also be emailed to all parents of participants a few days before the event. No one will be permitted to stay without a waiver completed by a legal guardian.

Branching Out T-Shirt : Although we are offsite for this event, we will be the only group present at the laser tag facility, so Branching Out T-shirts will not be required. If you still desire one, you may purchase a shirt for $10 through the registration link. Additional shirts may be available at the event for anyone who would like to purchase one at that time.

 Registration : The parish has gotten a new database system called Realm, so please be patient with us as we learn our way around. Here is the link to register for this event through Realm: Link to Registration!
Branching Out T-Shirts
