Altar the Attitude High School Fall Retreat:

Incoming 8th-12th grades

August 22-24, Cedarbrake Retreat Center

Cost: $100 until 8/10; $125 after

This retreat is an invitation for all incoming 8th-12th grade teens registered for SPY! Allow your teens to explore their current secular-culture world and discover what distractions and obstacles are keeping them from going deeper into their faith.

What's holding them back?

This retreat will also provide the opportunity for teens to create friendships and bond with their peers before the school year begins, which will in turn provide a network of peers to rely upon when life gets tough and a more fruitful experience for SPY Nights as well as future SPY events.
