Retreats give us the opportunity to disconnect from the busyness and monotony of everyday life, to put aside our to-do list and just be. This 26 hour getaway is all about the Holy Spirit and what He wants to do in your life. Take 26 hours to connect with friends, to view the world through a different lens, and to encounter God in a new way. Open to high school students participating in Alpha.
