At the start of each school year, CVCA middle school students participate in grade-specific retreats: 6th grade Ignition, 7th grade JumpStart, and 8th grade Launch Point. Each retreat provides students the opportunity to meet new friends and teachers while engaging in action-packed activities. Programming varies by grade level, but each retreat includes team-building activities such as games, ropes courses, rock-climbing, zip lines, swimming, crafting, and other adventures. Students are also challenged to grow closer to the Lord and to one another during times of spiritual enrichment that include great music and messages.
