This retreat is a very important time in our school year. It provides us with the opportunity to get to know one another, and more important, to draw stronger in our personal walk with God. The days will be filled with challenging activities and messages; the teens will enjoy the atmosphere and the aura of the majestic redwood forest. Our theme this year is: “Find Us Faithful” taken from 1 Corinthian 4:2. Each student will be challenged to live their lives faithful to: parents, family, school, friends, country, etc.

Please do not underestimate the importance of this retreat; it will have a long reaching impact on the character of your teen. Students who have graduated and go on often speak to me of the fond memories they have of their days at Mt. Gilead.
