Gen Z Pilot Retreat 2021 – Shadowcliff Mountain Lodge

Gen Z Retreat 2021!

After many months of planning the Gen Z Retreat took place in early June. In small teams, the Gen Z Advisors planned the full schedule, including meals. The program content was based on the results of a survey completed by over 100 Gen Zs. The sessions for this pilot program included Mental Health Awareness Through the Arts, Experiences in Nature, and Intersectionality.

Our Gen Z Advisors will continue working together to fully debrief the planning and gathering experiences. The outcomes will help guide future Gen Z retreats.

Establishing Our Container:

Enjoy the process.
Listen to each other.
Speak what your needs are.
Be flexible and willing to pivot.
Keep the question in mind.
Zoom in and zoom out.
Get out of your comfort zone.
