What To Expect
HIGH-ENERGY
With original music from musicians and high-energy facilitators, we encourage kids to play, laugh and connect with one another.
ACTIVITIES
Community-building activities designed to break down social barriers help foster stronger relationships among students.
PRESENTATION
Our Retreat Staff share personal stories centered on the value of the day. With humor and heart, they challenge kids to make a difference in their school.
SMALL GROUPS
Throughout the day, students meet in small groups, facilitated by high school or adult leaders, to process what they are learning and experiencing.
SHARING
At the end of the retreat, students have a chance to stand up and commit to how they will live out the value of kindness in their school community.
After the retreat, our follow-up videos, student surveys (online only), classroom materials and posters help extend the impact of the retreat.
