Student Trips and Retreats

Fall retreats are an integral part of students’ spiritual development at The King’s Academy. Our fall retreats are designed for students to gain invaluable personal knowledge and experiences, bond together as a class, make fund and wonderful memories together, and build relationships with staff.

A change of scenery, and time in nature, help connect students with God and each other. Retreats also build relationships and create a shared sense of community values and memories. In some cases, students participate in a service role as chaperones or help with the program.

We have a great week planned that includes inspirational and entertaining messages from last year's Hume Lake speaker Jason Wigand, worship times led by the well-loved Dave Matsumura of "Kokua", workshops with our staff, a safari, a visit to a carnivorous plant nursery, square dancing, zip lines, archery, climbing walls, obstacle courses, swimming, mud hole relays, a campfire, skit night, and more!
