The five victims, members of the AACF music team, were traveling to the organization’s winter retreat at Camp Maranatha in New Durham, N.H., and had left Cambridge early to set up for the conference.
The rest of the group’s members traveled by bus and arrived safely at the conference site. After being released from the hospital Friday night, Chyou and Lee were driven to the retreat and joined the rest of the AACF contingent.
“Everybody was really supportive and loving,” Chyou said. “There were a lot of tears.”
The retreat’s Friday night speaker was canceled and replaced by a prayer session for the accident victims, but other speaking sessions went on as scheduled, Chyou said.
She said “people are still praying” for the recovery of Chu and Cho and that a group of AACF members would likely visit Chu in the next few days.
