Retreats

A Campus Ministries retreat is time and space set aside as an opportunity to deepen one’s awareness of God’s Presence and to cultivate a healthy relationship with that Presence, both individually and communally. All students - graduate students, commuters, those practicing any religious tradition or none - are welcome to attend. We offer over two dozen different types of retreats. Learn more about them from these brief descriptions .
