Brief Description
The Personal Growth Retreat (PGR) provides an opportunity for individuals to understand themselves better, develop new perspectives in relationships with others and identify inner resources to strengthen their personal lives. All military personnel, retired personnel and their family members over the age of 18 are eligible to attend this retreat.
There are a variety of benefits that one can gain from a Personal Growth Retreat. Many participants feel like a tremendous burden has been lifted from them after attending a CREDO retreat. They return from their weekend with renewed hope and increased self-confidence. Some people develop lifelong friendships with people whom they have met on a CREDO retreat. Everyone returns on Sunday afternoon feeling refreshed after spending a weekend away from it all at one of our beautiful and serene retreat sites.
