Day Retreat 2025
Awakening: a retreat on
the good shepherd
Saturday, May 3, 2025
Sometimes you just need a change of pace!
Join us at Sweetwater Creek State Park!
Registration ends Tuesday, April 1.
Join us Saturday, May 3rd!
Register your youth to enjoy a day of retreat! This is a day to get away. We'll spend time together learning about our faith. We will sprinkle in both play time and quiet reflective time. This is an opportunity to deep dive into our Catholic faith and the relationships we have built at Edge throughout the 24-25 school year.
This will be our final class of the year!
Are you ready?!
The Good Shepherd is waiting for you!
Edge has an amazing Core Team!
Our Core Team has been working hard all year! It takes a very special person to walk the faith journey with Middle Schoolers. Your Middle School Core Team has been preparing for months to bring your youth an awesome day-retreat experience.
Are you ready? Let's goooooooo

How will my child get to the retreat?
Please bring your child directly to Sweetwater State Park. Follow the signs for the Group Shelter. If there is an attendant on duty, let them know you are dropping someone off - you should not need to pay for parking.
Does my child need to bring anything?
Your child will need a good attitude, an open heart, and no cell phone! We will take care of the rest!
Why does the retreat have a "no cell phone" policy?
We want our day to truly be a "retreat"! Even during lunch time and breaks, we want students to connect with each other. Cell phones can be such a distraction! If you need to get in touch with your child while they are on retreat, you can call our Youth Minister, Amanda. Her number will be available at check-in.
Why Should I Go on a Retreat?
Because retreats are fun. And Jesus loves you and wants you to KNOW he loves you. Need more? Read this article:
