This retreat fulfills the junior retreat requirement. Juniors who do not meet this prerequisite will be asked to find a different retreat.

Because the school has fully-funded retreats for juniors, is no charge for juniors who wish to attend this retreat. For seniors, the cost is $50, a fee which covers a portion of the total cost. Speak with the retreat directors if the cost is an issue. It is SLUH philosophy that cost should never prohibit a student from attending a desired retreat.
