Retreat Descriptions

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 mid-morning Sunday. Couples stay in motel-type accommodations and all meals are provided.

Marriage Enrichment Retreat II (MER II)
This retreat focuses on “Understanding the Love of your Life.”  Many have said throughout the years, “I just can’t understand why he (or she) does that!”  The more you understand your mate, the deeper your love will grow. This retreat allows each couple the opportunity to deal with differences, and explore ways to keep one’s marital relationship growing.  Couples will learn how to better communicate, deal with conflict and grow closer together.
No couple is ever made to feel like they have to discuss 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. 

Teen Retreats
Teens really enjoy this opportunity to get away, make new friends and enjoy the atmosphere of a mini-camp.  Both teen retreats are spiritual in nature.  They will learn about Christian principles associated with living a successful and godly life.

Made In His Image
Spiritual Growth Retreat
Amelia Whaley, a renowned watercolor artist from Charleston SC, will be leading this one of a kind CREDO retreat. Amelia writes: “Mention the word “creativity’ and most people automatically think of artists, writers, musicians and alike. In reality, each of us, made in the image of God, carry the same creative DNA as the famous mentioned above. The difference is that our creative gifts simply need identification and nurturing. This workshop will focus on exploring and identifying creative interests and possibilities in a supportive  community of trust.  No experience required! “

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 ages 5 and up.

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. Two-day Marriage Enrichment Seminars scheduled for the 4th Wednesday and Thursday of each month.
