Spring Retreat
Our spring retreat deepens our faith with the next step of living out a life in the Holy Spirit. This student-led retreat focuses on declaring Jesus as Lord of our lives and asking for a deeper release of the Holy Spirit. We grow in the fruit and gifts of the Spirit, to more fully live the call to holiness and mission received in baptism, confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist.
When is retreat?
It is the weekend of February 21-23, 2025. It starts at 6pm on Friday and ends at about 1pm on Sunday.
Where is retreat?
We will travel to Warren Willis Conference Center (4991 Picciola Rd, Fruitland Park, FL 34731) for our spring retreat. Plan on it taking about an hour and a half in Friday traffic. Do you need a ride? Your small group leader will be reaching out to you the week of retreat to connect you with other students to carpool. If you don't hear from them, respond to your confirmation email to ask one of our retreat producers for help or reach out on the CCM slack!

Retreat is a time set apart to seek God and grow in spiritual and personal maturity. As such, we aim to 'dress the part' during our times of prayer, teaching, and liturgy. We're asking that you wear "nice" clothes (smart casual) for retreat. Still bring some athletic clothing and swimwear for free time Saturday afternoon.

athletic clothing & modest swimwear for free time
an outfit for Sunday Mass
comfortable shoes
sheets, blankets and/or sleeping bag
pillow
towel

Please do not bring laptops, tablets, or homework.
What kinds of things can I expect to do on Spring Retreat?
Our retreats have a general schedule of talks, witnesses, small groups, and free time. Our Spring Retreat: Fan Into Flame additionally focuses on allowing the Holy Spirit to renew our faith in a powerful way. We have the opportunity on this retreat to ask for a deeper outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our lives, called a baptism in the Holy Spirit!
