Each year there is a Marianist LIFE Summer Program in California, Texas and in Dayton, Ohio. The Dayton program is six days long and is held at a retreat center just outside Dayton. It is for high school students, generally entering their junior or senior year, from Marianist-affiliated parishes and high schools in the eastern and midwestern United States. You will have a chance to meet and form friendships with people from other groups, as well as deepen friendships with the people from your own home group.

As a Marianist program, we use small Christian communities as the means of growing in faith. You'll spend time forming a small Christian community and learning skills that you can take home and use your whole life. That's not all though: fun active games, free time and quiet time, and great food are some other things you'll experience. Plus, our teen-oriented Eucharists and prayer services are always powerful experiences.
