RETREATS THAT Rock

DaySpring is proud to be home to a variety of youth retreats throughout the year, hosted by The Episcopal Youth Community of Southwest Florida (EYCSWFL). EYCSWFL is more than just a group — it's a growing, authentic, and faith-filled community of young people (from 3rd grade through college) who are exploring what it means to follow Christ in real, everyday ways.

Whether you're asking big questions, looking for new friends, craving a deeper connection with God, or need a break from the noise, there’s a place for you at EYCSWFL.

At EYCSWFL you’re invited to show up just as you are. No pressure. No pretending. Just real people walking together in faith.

Come for the fun. Stay for the community. Grow in Christ.

WHERE YOUTH MEET FAITH AND ADVENTURE

NEW
Beginnings

Grades 6-8

FEB 27 - MAR 1, 2026

$100

New Beginnings is more than a break from routine- it’s a weekend to connect with others, ask big questions, and discover how God is already moving in their lives.

Led by high school students and adults from across our diocese, this retreat explores the connections between friendships, family, faith, and their interplay.

Bring your curiosity. Bring your questions. Leave with a more profound sense of who you are and who God is calling you to be. Participants can attend as many times as they’d like while in middle school

Happening

Grades 9-12

APRIL 10-12, 2026

$100

Happening is a weekend retreat crafted by teens for teens—with a bit of grounding and support from youth-friendly clergy and adult mentors. It’s all about inviting you into a space where exploring faith feels real, relatable, and meaningful.

You’ll experience heartfelt talks from peers that tackle faith questions with honesty, life stories, and zero judgment. Expect a mix of laughter, deep chats, creative moments—and those special “caritas” surprises that remind you: you’re seen, supported, and loved—by God and your community.

This isn’t about checklist spirituality—it’s about helping you uncover what faith means to you and how you can keep growing in your own way.
