Fall Retreat Important Details

AHC Retreat September 14-17 at Mount Hermon plus
Wheatstone Conference January 3-5

We’re looking forward to a great High School Retreat this Fall plus a dynamic three day Wheatstone Conference to launch the second semester in January! Both of these weeks provide students a break from their regular courses. More importantly, they offer learning experiences focused on living full and meaningful lives that bring glory to God and blessing to His world. Edward Paz will be our retreat teacher, and he has already been working with our Student Council and Ministry Class to plan topics. The Theme for this year is “The Power of Words.”

Cost

Student fees have already covered most of the costs for these weeks, and we are able to reduce the additional program and transportation fees to only $100 dollars this year. It will be billed through Smart Tuition in four segments from October through January. PSP students are encouraged to participate in both of these weeks for just $350. Costs have been kept to a minimum through customized programming and low transportation costs. We are grateful for our partnership with Highlands and especially to Leigh Bishop, Transportation Director, for arranging bus transportation.

Swimming, Sand Pit Volleyball, and the Game Room will be available throughout these times each day at no additional cost and without a sign up process.
