This year’s retreat will take place at CYJ Retreats, a retreat center that will be reserved exclusively for The Well for the full weekend.
Through worship, prayer, and practical sessions led by leaders from The Well, you’ll have space to rest, reflect, and reconnect with God and with our church community. At this year’s retreat, we’ll be learning what it means to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. By reflecting on how God has moved through the body of Christ, we’ll be encouraged to follow the Great Commandment with our whole selves-and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
Event Highlights
Connect With Community
Take a break from your usual routine and enjoy a weekend of rest, reflection, and community. With worship, prayer, and practical sessions led by leaders from The Well, this retreat offers space to recharge—spiritually and relationally.
Living The Greatest Commandment
We'll be learning about the Greatest Commandment, as seen in Matthew 22:37–39: "And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
All-Inclusive Weekend at CYJ

Why are they more expensive this year?
We know this year’s retreat costs more, and that was a thoughtful choice. We’ve picked a quieter, The Well-only weekend—no other groups, no cafeteria food, and nicer rooms—so you can rest and connect with people from The Well. The $175 includes lodging, meals from a professional chef, all programming, and swag/merch! Everything—from the setting to the food—has been chosen with care. We believe it’s worth it, and we think you will too.
