For most high school seniors, the close of their high school experience means difficult goodbyes and exciting new adventures. At this important and often bittersweet time, the Youth Frontiers Wisdom Retreat gives seniors a chance to have fun while reflecting on and sharing memories as an entire class, gaining critical perspective on their experiences so they can move forward with wisdom. This time together helps seniors experience positive closure and guides them towards a meaningful transition into life beyond high school.

What the YF Wisdom Retreat Will Do For Your School:

• Increase school connectedness at a time when seniors often feel disconnected
• Provide seniors with an opportunity to gain a clearer perspective on their experiences
• Nurture wiser choices in the future
