Juniors Retreat to the Black Hills

By Marco Starr '14

Bye Juniors!

On November 14th and 15th, Red Cloud will send the junior class to Storm Mountain for a retreat. The junior class will participate in many activities while on retreat. Table tennis, foosball, basketball, and volleyball are some activities they can participate in during their free time. Group discussions will bring the class together and they will start talking about future plans. The retreat is designed to bring the class closer together and to start talking about life in the near future.

Brad Held is in charge of the whole retreat. Brad is in the Spiritual Formation Department of Red Cloud High School. “Of course I’m excited. It would be good to go with the students I teach every day,” said Held. “My favorite thing about retreats would be getting to spend time with students outside of school.” Brad has planned all the activities for the retreat, and these activities include the following: icebreakers, free time, campfire, hike to the top of Storm Mountain, and a lot of small group activities. The hike to the top of Storm Mountain is a long hike, but it's worth it when you reach the top. Walking up a hill and seeing the pine trees and all the scenery around makes the hike great.
