We offer a dynamic team of experienced, youthful, and energetic people to work with your teens. We have several different themes available and can adjust the content, flow, and timing of the day to fit your specific needs as a parish, school, or other group.
We do retreats all throughout the year. Most parishes choose a weekend date, but we can also do a weekday retreat for school groups. We even do some retreats over the summer!
Our quotes are based on how many teens you plan to have. The number of staff we need to make your retreat day successful is directly affected by your headcount. That said, we are always willing to work with you on price if need be.
The only things we need from the host parish or school is for you to handle registrations before the retreat day, and check-in and lunch/snacks on the day of. We will bring in all of our own equipment, set it up and break it down. Our team will handle all logistics for the day. We also often include Eucharistic Adoration in our retreat days, so we need the parish or school to provide a priest or deacon for that time as well.
Our Event Coordinator is always putting tentative dates into the calendar, but all dates will get confirmed starting the spring before. For example, dates begin getting confirmed Spring 2019 for Fall and Spring 2019-2020.
We can make most spaces work, but the ideal is to have a gym, parish hall, or church meeting room large enough for the group to move around a bit. The teens are often asked to move their chairs into different formations or set them to the side for small groups, games etc. We prefer for Adoration to be in the church or chapel and lunch to be served/eaten in a separate space when possible.
We have successfully worked with groups as small as 15 or 20 and as large as 200. However, the ideal is to limit days to about 100 teens, both for logistical and staffing purposes. For larger parishes with closer to 200, we suggest splitting the group into two separate retreat days.
