Student Retreat
Student Retreats provide an exciting opportunity for students to develop leadership and communication skills while building a strong sense of community. With activities focused on team-building, like low ropes, high ropes, and large group games, students will gain self-awareness, discover the benefits of involvement, and learn decision-making strategies. Whether planning for the school year or preparing for high school, our retreats are designed to inspire, empower, and create lasting memories. Some examples of Student Retreats are, Grade 9 Welcome Retreat, Grade 12 Retreat, Student Council Retreat, etc.
Every program is fully customizable with a large selection of activities for you and your team to choose from.
For your Student Retreat, we recommend:
Personal Development Workshops
These guided workshops help students get to know one another and become comfortable working together as a team. Most importantly, these workshops equip students with leadership skills and activities they can bring back to their school.
Large Group Games
Active competition based games that students complete in teams. Activities include field sports and camp-wide challenges that encourage communication, sportsmanship, teamwork, and cooperation.
High Ropes
Participants can traverse the obstacles suspended in the air with more than one teammate at a time, or help to belay their teammates and communicate with them from below. These courses challenge participants to develop trust within themselves and their teammates.
Low Ropes
A series of ground based obstacles designed to challenge teams and individuals to work together. Exercises focus on building trust, improving participants’ ability to communicate, stimulating creative problem solving, collaborating even with constraints, and developing and executing a plan with many moving parts.
