Dear Glendale Prep High School Families,

Thank you for signing up for the High School Retreat at Lost Canyon. This is a significant opportunity for nearly 300 students and 15-20 teachers to create meaningful connections and cultivate kindness from the very beginning of the 2025-2026 school year. The trust and relationships shaped at the retreat will augment the educational formation that the students will experience in the classroom.  The retreat will facilitate bonding over team-building activities, karaoke, leadership exercises, s’mores, and seminars.

Attached HERE  is a packet containing a packing list, camp map, our behavior guidelines and contact information for the camp and for Mrs. Janssen and Mrs. Haley.  High School Retreat specific dress code guidelines can be found on the Glendale Prep Dress Code Document on the GP Website HERE.

Please read below for information regarding student drop off and student pick up.

We are excited to partner with families to make this an unforgettable experience with impactful memories for students.
