Junior Retreat

Father & Son Retreat

Camp Cho-Yeh: November 8-9, 2024 or March 21-22, 2025

This retreat is about exploring the powerful bond between a father and his son. Juniors and their fathers will spend the weekend competing in different games and challenges, pray together, and spend time in the great outdoors away from technology and distractions.

NOTE: If a student’s father cannot attend either retreat, we will work with each situation to ensure an alternative male mentor. The invaluable benefits of this retreat environment have proven immeasurable.

“God sets the father in the family so that by the gifts of his masculinity he can be…close to his children as they grow—when they play and when they work, when they are carefree and when they are distressed, when they are talkative and when they are silent, when they are daring and when they are afraid, when they stray and when they get back on the right path. To be a father who is always present” (Pope Francis).
