Our Parent/Teen retreats and summer camp weeks open a new frontier of faith, adventure, and unforgettable memories. Over six days together, you and your son or daughter will share meaningful experiences, build community, and deepen your Catholic faith — creating a stronger bond rooted in Christ.
From ropes courses and river adventures to hiking trails and faith-filled sessions, each day provides opportunities to grow closer, share your hopes and dreams, and journey side by side in faith. This week is an invitation to explore a new frontier together and begin a lifelong adventure
Registration & Logistics:
Throughout the week, you and your teen will journey together in a small group of families at a similar life stage. Together, you’ll face high and low ropes courses, enjoy white water rafting, and tackle camp challenges that build teamwork, trust, and community — all while growing in your relationship with Christ and each other
At Life Teen, every detail is designed with Life Teen’s trademark hospitality. From delicious meals and comfortable accommodations to the warmth of community life and the richness of the sacraments, everything is prepared to help you encounter Christ’s love in a personal and transformative way.
The retreat is designed to strengthen your relationship with your son or daughter as you both discover more about each other’s journey. Parents will attend talks that inspire and equip, while teens take part in sessions crafted for their stage of life. Together, you’ll gain tools to build lasting, Christ-centered relationships that extend beyond camp.
Each day includes powerful community gatherings featuring inspiring talks, prayer, and worship. These sessions open the door to meaningful small-group conversations where faith is broken open and lives begin to transform.
The retreat begins on Friday evening with check-in from 3:00pm – 5:00pm. The retreat will end on Sunday at 12:30pm with lunch available to go.
