Camps and Retreats
Camps and Retreats Program
In a bid to nurture the whole child, Marist College has a comprehensive camps and retreats program which students are expected to attend. Under the care of our teaching staff, opportunities for students outside the home environment can be important stepping stones to developing independence and reinforcing young people’s burgeoning leadership and social skills.
