Kidnap Retreat: The Transition:

This is the fun part. While everyone is at the public event one or more drivers will then go the youths' homes to pick up the gear that their parents have packed for them, after they left the house. All this gear is then taken to the retreat location. If these drivers can also set up the retreat site and have a snack ready to greet you, all the better.

At the end of the public event, activate the "escape hatch" for any youth that will not be going on the retreat. Without comment or explanation, drive straight for the retreat site. Once there, point out their gear, and state that they have been "kidnapped" with their parent's assistance, for the weekend.

There may still be one or two youth that have obligations that their parents did not know of, or who simply are not willing to go along with the program. It is generally best to take these home. If they cannot be easily swayed, they will be a detriment to the program.
