The Student Ministry Team will be rebuilding every El Camino retreat from scratch . All students including freshmen who will become sophomores next year, are invited to join the Student Ministry Team for helping out with this project. The group meetings will take place during March, April, and May. Students who are interested with helping can join the planning teams and start rebuilding the retreat from scratch.

As far as new ideas for the retreat go, the ideas are in the heads of the students, Mr Masterton says “I give the teams a time-frame and a couple suggestions to get started, but then the retreat is planned entirely based on the student groups’ brainstorming, research, and discussions,” he said. “They present their ideas to the rest of the students and I, and then we work through a process to refine it all into a full retreat.”

El Camino is the sophomore, overnight retreat. It is held three times out the year at Lindenwood Retreat Center. “El Camino” comes from the Spanish word for “the way”, and the historic pilgrimage walk in Spain. On this overnight experience, the students are lead through a simple reflection on themselves, others, and God.  The last El Camino of the 2014-15 school year is March 2-3.
