School Retreats

The Scala Team encourages young people to become attuned to themselves, others and the world around them, while being open to the spirit of Christ in their lives. The retreat essentially provides the individual with an opportunity to reflect, engage and "realise" a spiritual understanding in the modern world.
Scala facilitates Confirmation, Junior and Senior Cycle students in Bessboro, Cork.

After consultation with both students and teachers, the Scala team devise an individualised/school retreat programme which attempts to meet the students needs

Early booking is advisable. Please contact Scala for availability for 2009.

“I never realized that I knew retreats would be fun.”

“I was surprised that I really enjoyed the day.”

“The retreat raised questions for me about my life.”

“I was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did, because I am not religious.”
