Wayfinders: A Journey for High Schoolers

Come and see.

Friday, June 23 through Monday, June 26, 2023 at the University of Dayton

Interested in asking questions about faith and God? Want to earn college credit over the summer?

Join us for four days on University of Dayton’s campus this summer!

A Journey Together

Explore, alongside other teens, what it means to be “on the way” in our lives, with others, and with God. Drawing upon wide and varied resources in the Catholic tradition, including UD’s particular Marianist tradition, discuss, explore, read, discover, reflect and learn about where we are going in our lives, in the context of our wider world and in relationship with God.

Open to those entering in 10th, 11th or 12th grades, Wayfinders’ participants stay in a UD residence hall for three nights and four days. Participants will spend time in deep conversation — and just hanging out — with other high schoolers, interact with UD students, be guided in reading and reflection about Catholic theology by four accomplished professors, and make trips of contemplation and service to various local sites.
