Want to see all the fun your student is having at Fall Retreat? We’ll be sharing photos throughout the weekend via Photo Circle. Please note: Only leaders will have their phones to take pictures, but we’ll capture plenty of great moments! Additionally, students will have the chance to record memories through our Photo Booth, so they'll get plenty of snapshots.

Get familiar with the worship songs we’ll be singing at Fall Retreat! Check out our Spotify playlist and start listening ahead of time.

Students should bring any necessary medication with them, which will be safely distributed by leaders as needed. Please ensure that students inform us about all medications they are bringing to the retreat.

If your student needs to be picked up or dropped off outside of the normal schedule, please contact Erica to coordinate the details.

In today’s world, teens spend an average of 8 hours a day on screens, and research shows this is linked to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and isolation. At this year’s Fall Retreat, we’re challenging students to go phone-free as part of our “Upstream” theme, where we encourage them to live for Christ in a self-centered world.

Schools and programs that have adopted no-phone policies have seen amazing results—like a 94% improvement in mental well-being at the Village School of Naples and increased face-to-face connection among students. By stepping away from their phones, we believe our students will be more present, build deeper relationships, and grow in their faith.

Parents, join us in going upstream and supporting this important step for your student’s spiritual growth. Let’s help them unplug, reconnect, and thrive in community at Fall Retreat.
