Retreats

Retreats are the hallmark of the ECHO program. They are an opportunity for young people to set aside time away from their busy lives to reflect on the questions, “Who am I?” “Where am I?” and “Where am I going?” While exploring their faith and deepening their relationship with God, teens encounter a loving community of peers and adults to walk with them on their journey. To date, more than 12,000 young people have experienced the transformative power of an ECHO retreat.
