Quest - A Retreat for First Year Students

September 12 - 14, 2008

Camp Manitoqua Retreat Center in Frankfort, IL

What to Expect

This AWESOME student-led retreat is sponsored by Campus Ministry, and designed to help first year students adjust to college and explore new relationships. While it has Christian overtones, ALL FAITHS are welcome. During the retreat, there are various activities and opportunities to relax, play games, pray, reflect, and talk to upperclassmen about their transitions with relationships, stress, and other topics. Invite your friends - come make new friends!

What Other Students Have to Say:

Quest was the opportunity of a lifetime!  Everyone should go on Quest because it offers you the chance to make real friends and real connections.  It gives you a deeper appreciation of the beauty and gifts of those around you.
~Sammi Powers, Fall 2007

My Quest experience was amazing.  You get to meet new people on a new level. The people you meet are so great and the talks given are very influential.  It is so much fun and a great escape from school!
~Julie Schultz, Fall 2007
