Teen Retreats are dynamic weekend gatherings for Orthodox Christian youth ages 12 and up, held twice a year in the winter and fall. A ministry of the Diocese of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania, the retreats provide opportunities for faith, fellowship, and renewal in a supportive environment. They take place at a variety of retreat centers and camps across the region, giving teens the chance to experience different settings that foster spiritual reflection and growth.
Retreat life centers on worship and spiritual formation:
- Daily Prayer Services
- Engaging Discussions & Reflections
- Guest Speakers & Workshops
- Service Projects
- Small Group Activities
In addition to prayer and learning, retreats offer time for fellowship and fun through activities such as:
- Team-Building Games
- Outdoor Recreation
- Creative Workshops
- Evening Socials
- And more!
Teen Retreats give young adults the chance to refresh and deepen their faith in the Orthodox Church, build long-lasting friendships, and experience Christ-centered community throughout different seasons during the year.
