Tuesday, August 26 - Friday, August 29, 2025
Camp Fairwood, Westfield, WI
(608) 296-2801 | campfairwood.org
At the start of each school year, Westlake’s high school students head out for an overnight retreat—one of the most anticipated events of the year. This time away serves three key purposes:
- To help students reconnect with old friends and form new friendships
- To foster meaningful relationships between students and faculty
- To provide space for spiritual growth and challenge
The retreat is an intentional and valuable part of our school ministry, and all high school students are expected to attend. We would be grateful if you would join us in praying that this time together would be impactful and fulfilling.
The theme for this year’s retreat will be revealed during the first week of school—we’re excited to share it soon!
