The middle school retreat at OJCS is a 3 day “vacation” from school where we do a bunch of fun, exciting activities that bring us together as a community. In fact, the theme of this years middle school retreat was rebuilding community! We decided to make this the theme because we thought it was very important to start off the year like this, since last year our community was fading. The main activities for this years retreat were an obstacle course and white water rafting! I found that at the end of the retreat I was able to think of so many new memories that were made. Overall I think that the middle school retreat is such a great idea and I am so happy I have been able to participate in it!
