Girls bond over bonfires, karaoke, and rollercoasters

Campion Academy’s Girl’s Club bonded over their retreat on campus this past weekend. They connected over activities such as having church in a park, watching movies, singing karaoke and even taking a trip to Denver’s amusement park, Elitch Gardens. 

“It was super fun to watch the girls come together like a family. As a four year senior, I’ve always loved dorm retreat with all the girls,” says Faith Evert, senior and Residence Assistant. 

On Friday evening, the girls had a vespers program on center campus around a bonfire. 

On Sabbath, they went to a local park and participated in team-building exercises and worship. After worship, they had free time to hang out. “I had a lot of fun at the dorm retreat this year. I had never gone before because in past years I was a village student, but it was a positive experience. I got to grow closer to my classmates and friends and had a lot of fun playing groundies at the park,” Lindsey Smith, senior, commented. 

In the evening, when they returned to campus, they had karaoke and watched movies. 

On Sunday, they all went to Elitch Gardens in Denver. Ariana Reyes-Perez, freshman says, ​“Dorm retreat has been one of the best experiences I've had at Campion. It was super fun being able to spend time with friends at a place like Elitch Gardens and going on all the rides with them.”
