Youth Retreats
SCYL Retreats
The Swedenborgian Church Youth League (SCYL) holds retreats three times a year when possible. Two retreats are held in Michigan, one over Winter Break and Memorial Day weekend, and the third is held in Massachusetts over the Indigenous Peoples Day weekend.
SPLATz Retreats
SPLATz (Super-Powered Lovable Almost Teens) offers programming for pre-teens, aged 10-13. Many events are SPLATz+ (age 10-15).
The Super Powered Lovable Almost Teens and younger Swedenborgian Church Youth Leaguers (SPLATz+) are excited to host a Boston retreat! All youth ages 10 – 15 are invited.
At retreats, tweens and teens have free time for games, music, recreation, or just hanging out and talking. A few times a day, they also meet for hour-long sessions with an adult leader or minister. At these sessions we talk about spiritual topics and discuss important life choices, values, and decisions. Sometimes we do crafts or projects related to the topic of discussion.
The Youth Retreats are all about loving and understanding one another without the fear of judgement or condemnation. We hope that you will join us and see for yourself what the SCYL and SPLATz are all about!
