If you're a parent of a teenager who struggles to connect and make friends, this retreat is designed for your family.
Does this sound like you?
Your teen spends a lot of time alone or plugged into their phone. They might engage with you at home, but struggles to engage with peers. They might not be able to navigate a crowd of kids at school, and would do better in a small group or one-on-one interactions.

You may also upgrade to a private room with a King bed for $300.
