High School Retreat

At ICS, our students thrive most when they feel like they are part of our community. At the beginning of each school year, the entire high school participates in a high school retreat. The retreat is typically two days spent at Big Canyon Ranch in Wanship, UT. Activities and events are planned by student council during the preceding summer. Student Council introduces a “theme” for the year and selects a speaker to lead several sessions during the retreat. Time is allotted for small groups to expound upon the lessons provided by the speaker and to get to know one another better. Activities are designed to build community and give interaction that can’t be achieved at school.

This valuable experience often sets the tone for the year in our high school. Giving students the opportunity for spiritual refreshment and building relationships proves to be a wonderful way to begin a new year, and it is a particular joy to watch God work in the lives of our students during that time. Our high school retreat is a uniquely ICS tradition that remains a favorite for our community!
