The C2 retreat program is designed to connect participants to nature, to others and to themselves through play, outdoor adventure challenges, and a variety of reflective activities.

  • Hiking in the beautiful Berkshires
  • White Water Rafting with Zoar Outdoor Adventures along the Deerfield River
  • Yoga, Meditation & Reflection
  • Campfires and Storytelling
  • Teambuilding initiatives
  • Journaling activities
