Seniors look to bond at upcoming retreat

As students launch into their last year of high school, an event which many highly anticipate is the annual senior retreat which will be held at Calvin Crest, Aug. 16-17.

The goal of the retreat is to bring students closer together and to create new friendships. Night hikes, team challenges and campfire worship are all activities designed to make students work together and learn to collaborate with one another.

History teacher and chaperone Kori Friesen looks forward to watching relationships grow and blossom.

“I’m really looking forward to having lots of fun with the seniors, I didn’t get to go last year so this year is going to be new to me.” Friesen said.

Although the senior retreat is somewhat of a mystery to some, senior Summer Villanueba looks forward to spending time with her classmates outside of the traditional classroom setting.

“I’m not really sure what to expect,” Villanueba said. “I’m just really looking forward to being with my classmates out in the mountains and having lots of fun.”

While most students will attend, some will not be able to due to prior commitments.

Students depart from FC at 10 a.m., Aug. 27, and will arrive back at FC around 2 p.m., the next day.
