Two-Day Student Development & Leadership Retreat
At the Saybrook Point Resort & Marina in Old Saybrook, CT on August 4 & 5, 2025.
Every student will leave with a customized personal development and growth plan, enhanced speaking & interviewing skills, and insight & confidence about their individual character strengths and leadership potential.
Equip your child with some of the most important abilities for leading a life of impact: exploring and discovering their purpose, also known as "finding your why."
This retreat is designed for rising 7th to 12th grade students, aiming to develop skills often overlooked in a traditional school experience yet are essential in life. It will also help to prepare students who may be applying to schools (or summer jobs/internships) where an interview is required.
A transformative experience that will prepare your student for the future with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
