3 Retreats, 1 Mission
At CYM, we have THREE incredible opportunities for you to attend a retreat! A retreat is a way to take a step back from life in order to encounter God. You will have the chance to explore your faith alongside your friends and a supportive retreat team. All retreats are open to all high-schoolers, not just Confirmation candidates. Ideally, you will experience all 3 retreats in your high-school career, either as a retreatant or a team member. Consider the options below.
ALL NON-CONFIRMATION HIGH-SCHOOL TEENS:
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER for retreat NOW until 2 weeks prior to retreat date.
- Look below at the available retreat and information sheets to decide which one is the best fit for you.
