Youth Workshops
General Information for Family Retreat Youth Workshops
- At the Family Retreat, Youth workshops are for both Current Davidson Youth Members and Non-Member Siblings ages 5-18 only.
- Workshops are crafted to provide a fun and engaging self-discovery and growth experience for students with time to connect alongside like-minded peers.
- Workshops below will be offered in a various rotating basis during the two timeslots (Saturday AM and Saturday PM)
- During each time slot, workshops will be designated for either Youth (approx. ages 5-10), or Tween/Teen (approx. ages 11-18) ages to help differentiate who is joining during each time slot.
- Presenters may differentiate content as appropriately needed for each age group.
- Students can only attend one workshop in each timeslot.
- During workshops, parents may utilize the alternative spaces such as the Game Room and Arts & Crafts room if their student needs a break from their workshop. Parent supervision is required.
- Youth workshop signups will be released after event registration begins. Families who register for the Family Retreat prior to this release will receive an email notification with the signup link when available. Families who register after this release will have access to the workshop signup link in their confirmation email sent after the Family Retreat team verifies their registration. Families will choose their own workshops for youth directly through our form. Each workshop is capacity based, and reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Morning Family Movement: Yoga
Each morning, families can start their day with a morning movement option of yoga or an intention setting walk around campus. Forego both and just enjoy extra time to get ready and have breakfast as a family.
Rise and shine with gentle movement in this feel-good morning yoga session. Durning this hour, we'll connect to our breath, set our intentions for the day, and wake up the body with stretches and sun salutations. This is a family-friendly yoga flow that will help clear the mind and energize the body, preparing you for the rest of the day.
