  Judgement-Free Zone

  My experience at the New Growth Retreat was amazing!!! Everything about it was awesome. They always had food to keep you fed. All the people had so much kindness all around. It was easy to talk to them because I knew they wont judge. And they shared what they had been through. They also gave so much love. Their advice was actually really good. I felt so safe here, even though I didn’t know anyone. I am so happy I got to come.

  Creative Expression

  This retreat is a creative space to express yourself as much as you want to. The activities we did were REAL. They talked to us like adults with respect, and took time to sit down and let the kids share their thoughts. It was really freeing to be able to express what you are feeling through crafts and activities. The Guides were all down to earth and willing to accepting and flexible to each kid’s needs. Asked feedback and opinions a lot to see how we felt and adapt to what we needed.

  A Fun & Safe Reset

  New Growth Retreats provided a beautiful experience for my teen daughter. She gained new insights, increased in self-confidence, learned new coping skills, forged new friends, and strengthened existing friendships. The leaders and Guides were nothing short of amazing. They all exude love and respect for the youth participating. The locations where the retreats are held are beautiful homes. My daughter and myself were quite impressed with the luxury the youth are able to induldge in. The whole weekend allowed for a fun and safe reset. My daughter loved it so much the first time, she went again!

  A Fun & Safe Reset

  3. This trip was great. It was just what I needed. They were open to belief systems, and taught me a lot. We had a lot in common with each other and it was fun with plenty of food.
