Teen Unplugged Retreat

Dates: Annually in September

Location: Camp Collins

Cost: ~ $190

Get ready to challenge yourself! Village Home TEENS will enjoy a few days of adventure in nature at Camp Collins along the Sandy River. At this retreat, we play, stretch our limits on the challenge ropes course, and stretch our comfort zones with one another. Group activities with some free time are planned from breakfast until lights out, which is around 11 p.m. each night. On Saturday, we spend the day on the Challenge Ropes Course with the leader in ropes course facilitation in the northwest, Synergo. Through low and HIGH ropes challenges, participants are encouraged to reach their personal potential as well as their capacity for working together. We stay in cabins that have bunks with mattresses, electricity, heat, and hot showers are available. Come ready to challenge yourself through a series of activities meant to help us stretch our wings! 

Participants arrive Friday evening and depart late Sunday morning.

Who can attend? Village Home Learners, age 13 – 18 (must be 13 by September 1 of the current program year to attend).
