UPCOMING RETREATS AND CAMPS

High School Spring Retreat at Camp Hidden Lake in Dahlonega Georgia
March 15-17, 2024

This retreat is open to ALL high school students. It doesn’t matter if they are currently in our Confirmation program, used to be, or are even Catholic. All are welcome.

Catholics are invited to embrace the Real Presence of Jesus so we can experience grace and be present to others as Eucharistic people. We need self-knowledge and openness to how the Holy Spirit presents ways to minister to others. Yet, in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it can be difficult to find time for reflection and service. So, this retreat offers the opportunity to deepen our relationship with God and those around us so we can experience and be a real presence.

Throughout this retreat, we will explore what it means to be face-to-face with ourselves, our families, our friends, God, and our communities. We will learn how to be honest with ourselves and how to invite God into our struggles. Additionally, we will learn how to appreciate and nurture our family relationships, build relationships that deepen our faith, experience the tangible presence of God’s love through the Eucharist, and serve and be present in our communities.

Early bird price ($100) deadline is February 14th and the deadline to sign up ($125) is February 28th. Do not let cost hold you back. Fundraising opportunities are available. Please email Loral Leach (lleach@standrewcatholic.org) for more information or to sign up.

 


High School Summer Camp at Hidden Lake 
July 8-13, 2024
Life Teen Summer Camp at Hidden Lake is an incredible week of fun, activities, prayer, time with friends and growing in your faith. For years, parishes, schools and groups from around the world have traveled to Hidden Lake to grow in their faith. Tucked away in the north Georgia Mountains, the grounds of Hidden Lake are peaceful, powerful and restful.

We only have 12 spots left for our High School Summer Camp! This is open to all rising 9th- graduated 12th grade students.

During the day we have typical summer camp activities (high and low ropes, canoes, swimming, water slides, laser tag, crafts, messy games, etc.), but we also have a lot of activities that built us up in our faith as well. We begin each day with 30 minutes of prayer. After our "summer camp activities", we have daily Mass. Each night we also had a session that included a talk focused on the theme, small groups, and prayer.

Due to fundraising efforts, the cost is only $100 per teen (scholarship opportunities are available). Please reach out to Loral Leach (lleach@standrewcatholic.org) by April 21st for more information or to reserve your spot.
