Lake Geneva, WI
November 10-12

All high school students are invited to join us for the Life Teen Retreat this fall! In accordance with the Eucharistic Revival going on throughout the Church world wide, this year’s theme is “Face to Face”. The retreat will be a chance to get away from the day to day to make ourselves available and open to learn more about who God is and who He created us by diving deeper into our relationship with God and the other relationships in our lives.  Each day will be filled with opportunities for prayer, talks, teen testimonies, games, small group time, lots of food and lots of fun. We only have room for THIRTY teens so sign up today!

FAQ

I want to go, but the cost is a bit high for my family.
We don’t want finances to be the reason you cannot attend the retreat. If cost is a preventative factor to your teen’s attendance, please contact Theresa Storto ([email protected]) for Tuition Assistance. Your communication and information will be handled with discretion and will be confidential.

Can I invite friends who aren’t involved with Life Teen?
Yes, you are welcome to invite your friends, but we would like to get to know teens before heading out on retreat. Your friends will need to come to a Life Teen night before the retreat to meet the youth ministers and Core Team. Keep in mind it is first come, first serve for these 30 spots. If you invite your friends, they would use the same registration form but will be redirected to the Non-LifeTeen Teen option for payment.

I have a game/tournament/appointment during the retreat. Can a parent/guardian pick me up for the retreat and then drop me back off after?
The whole point of the retreat is to get away from the day-to-day, but we understand there are some conflicts that make it difficult to miss.  If you need to leave the retreat at any point, please email Christina Hudson ([email protected]). Permission will be considered on a case by case basis.

Do I need to bring an air mattress or sleeping bag?
Rooms will be predetermined. Some of you may need to bring an air-mattress with you. A packing list will be sent out the week before departure. 

I have more questions!
Please email Christina Hudson with any additional questions you have ([email protected]).
