Students
are invited to participate in a number of retreat opportunities during
their time at Notre Dame. These experiences, offered away from campus,
are a time to come together in joy and friendship for fun activities and
self-reflection. Retreats are offered for each grade level and build appropriately to match a student’s development and experience in high school.
Please contact Karen Yavorsky if you have questions about the retreat program. Forms and information can be found below.
Senior Retreat
The student retreat program culminates in a three-day, two-night retreat at the San Damiano Retreat Center
in Danville. Based on a Kairos model, the Senior Retreat is
distinctively Notre Dame and is facilitated by the faculty and staff
members during the Spring Semester.

Sophomore Breakaway Day
Building on the experience of the Frosh Breakaway Day, sophomores travel to Camp Redwood Glen
in Los Gatos in the fall semester for their second retreat. The day's
activities are planned and implemented by the students who have
participated in the Spirituality of Leadership class.
Frosh Breakaway Day
In spring, the frosh attend one of two day-long retreats at Santa Teresa Parish in San Jose.

sacred and seeking wisdom from the stories of those who have gone
before us, are planned and implemented by student leaders and the
campus ministry team.
