Retreats

Retreats are the hallmark of the ECHO program. They are an opportunity for young people to set aside time away from their busy lives to reflect on the questions, “Who am I?” “Where am I?” and “Where am I going?” While exploring their faith and deepening their relationship with God, teens encounter a loving community of peers and adults to walk with them on their journey. To date, more than 12,000 young people have experienced the transformative power of an ECHO retreat.

Weekend Retreats

The weekend retreat theme “Paschal Mystery” explores how the experience of encountering Christ can be present in our lives every day. These weekend retreats (held at Craigville Retreat Center) are single gender and are open to sophomores, juniors, seniors, and early college students. More than 12,000 high school and college-aged young adults have experienced the transformative power of an ECHO weekend! These retreats are lead by a mix of teenagers and adults. Retreat participants rarely leave a retreat without making new, life-long friends.

Weekend retreats begin Friday at 5:30pm and conclude mid-day on Sunday around 3:00pm. While there is the ability for some “wiggle room” in arrival to accommodate a late running sports game, school activity, etc. All participants are required to be there from start to finish if an accommodation needs to be made it needs to be done ahead of time with the Rector/Rectora of the weekend.
