Bear Awakening is a three-day, faith-filled, jam-packed retreat, designed for and led by students. This retreat is a fantastic opportunity for students to encounter Christ (sometimes for the first time) and get involved with the St. Peter's community. The experience has proved itself time and again to be a turning point in many lives.
Initial staff applications have closed for Bear Awakening 22, however if you are interested in staffing, you are still welcome to fill out the application and we will let you know if we can use your help!
Late applicants will be placed where they are needed most. If you have attended an Awakening retreat before, either with us at Bear Awakening or another university Awakening, click below to sign up to staff BA22 and also email our CMTs at [email protected] so they know to be in touch!
In order to keep Bear Awakening affordable and accessible to any student that wants to attend, Bear Awakening fundraises to offset the cost of the retreat. Currently Awakening retretants are only required to pay $50 for the whole weekend retreat -- and we would like to keep it that low! All donations to Awakening go toward retreat and staff formation expenses.
In addition to standard retreat and formation expenses, Bear Awakening will also be relocating to a local retreat center this year to accomadate our recent growth. We are very excited for this transition but need your help!
