Retreats
Marriage Enrichment Retreat I (MER I)
Every couple needs a time in their relationship
to recharge and reenergize. The toll of military
life and family can often times leave couples
exhausted, worn-out and disillusioned. This
retreat (CREDO’s most popular) gives couples
time to reflect, resolve and refocus. The retreat
begins on Friday evening and concludes midmorning
Sunday. Couples stay in motel-type
accommodations and all meals are provided.
Marriage Enrichment Retreat II (MER II)
A 48 hour experience based on the work of Dr.
Sue Johnson. This retreat focuses on creating
and strengthening the marital emotional bond
by identifying and transforming the key moments
that foster an adult loving relationship.
Couples will spend time in small groups with a
chaplain and therapist.
**Due to the nature of the retreat, attendees
must have one or more combat deployments to
attend.**
No couple is ever made to feel like they have to dis-
cuss their relationship with the group. Most of the
exercises are designed for each individual couple to
discuss their personal issues privately.
Personal Growth Retreats (PGR)
A PGR offers individuals an opportunity to be recharged
and reflect upon their life—where they’ve
been, where they are and where they are heading.
It presents an opportunity to refresh one's perspective
and outlook on life, plus experience the
love of God through a community that enables
one another to experience the delight of unconditional
support and encouragement. Married people
also find these retreats valuable, but due to
the unique retreat dynamic, it is best if couples
attend separate retreats as individuals.
Middle School Retreat
Specifically designed for these young teens as an
opportunity to get away, make new friends and
enjoy the atmosphere of a mini-camp. Retreat is
spiritual in nature. Teens will learn about Christian
principles associated with living a successful
and godly life.
Women’s Spiritual Growth Retreat (WSGR)
Similar to the Personal Growth Retreat, but with a
distinctly Christian foundation, this retreat (for
women only) focuses on family relationships, helping
women become godly, military wives and
mothers.
Family Retreat
Designed to couples establish a positive parenting
mind-set, with lots of practical ideas and tips on a
broad range of parenting issues and practices.
Common mistakes and key principles will be discussed
along with suggestions on how to balance
time between work and home. This retreat is for
the whole family.
Seminars
Singles Seminar
This fun, interactive seminar helps singles learn
how to date smarter. The seminar is two fold: first,
the morning is spent discovering there is a pattern
of human behavior that we fit into. Most people
tend to be attracted to someone who is opposite
their personality. Second, we spend the afternoon
learning about the five bonding dynamics associated
with the “Relationship Attachment Model,”
and five predictors for determining whether you
could happily live a lifetime with the one you are
dating.
PREP
PREP (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement
Program) is one of the most comprehensive and
well respected divorce-prevention/marriage enhancing
programs in the world.
PREP is a skills and principles-building curriculum
designed to help partners say what they need to
say, get to the heart of problems, and increase
their connection with each other. For more
information and to make reservations, please call
451-0176.
