PreTeen Retreat
Boys & Girls · Grades 5–7
This is a safe space
Our retreats are built around emotional safety, physical safety, and real connection. You'll be away from your parents for the weekend, but you'll be cared for the entire time by our professional Teencoaching team.
You'll stay in comfortable accommodation with proper rooms and bedding. This is not an outdoor military-style camp, and it is not a disciplinary camp. Nobody will shout at you, scream at you, or make you feel small.
Instead, it's a space where you can talk, listen, ask questions, participate, reflect, have fun — and start to understand yourself more deeply.
Our approach is conversation-based, activity-based and development-focused — not a series of physically demanding challenges. Expect guided conversations, interactive activities, reflection, meals, quiet time and connection with other young people. If there's anything outdoors, it's gentle and safe — think walking or bird watching, not an obstacle course. You'll get the full programme before you arrive, so nothing is a surprise.
PreTeen Retreat
Boys & Girls · Grades 5–7
Academic Readiness
What does doing well look like in primary school — and what changes in high school? How do you take more ownership of your own learning?
Emotional Readiness
How do you understand and manage your emotions as you become more independent? What happens when you feel pressure, disappointment or uncertainty?
Mental Readiness
How do you prepare yourself to think differently, make decisions and handle new responsibilities?
Identity
Who are you right now? Who are you becoming? What values do you want to carry into high school?
Relationships & Social Development
How do you make new friends, navigate different personalities, and communicate your boundaries while respecting other people's?
Future Possibilities
What are your interests and natural strengths? You don't need to know what career you want yet — this is just about beginning to see what's possible.
"We are not only preparing you for the next institution. We are preparing you for the next version of yourself."
What about food?
You'll always be properly fed. No skipped meals, no going hungry between sessions.
Breakfast
A proper, filling breakfast to start every day right.
Snacks
Proper snacks in between sessions — never a long stretch without food.
Lunch
A proper, sit-down lunch every day of the retreat.
Dinner
A proper dinner each evening — often where the best conversations happen.
We keep it real — and we have fun
Not every conversation is a deep one. We laugh, we play, we relax — a retreat is also just a good time with people your age. But when it matters, we don't shy away from the real stuff either.
You'll have space to ask questions and talk honestly about the things that are actually on your mind — with guidance on how to think for yourself and make informed decisions about your own life.
And it's not only our founder leading every conversation. You'll also hear from guest speakers — different voices, different experiences, different perspectives, all adding to the weekend.
"I don't know anyone here."
You might be thinking this when you arrive — and that's completely normal. Most of the young people at the retreat will be meeting each other for the first time. Different schools, different communities, different backgrounds.
That's part of the experience. You'll get to practise walking into a new space, meeting new people, joining conversations, and building connection — a skill you'll use for the rest of your life. You don't need to know anyone before you arrive. You just need to come with an open mind.
You don't have to have it all figured out. You don't need to know your future, your career, or have all the answers. You're still becoming — and that's exactly why we build these spaces.
Come as you are.
Come ready to listen. Come ready to think. Come ready to talk.
Come ready to meet someone new — and to discover something about yourself.
Because the person you are becoming deserves your attention too.
