Welcome to “Star Island Journeys,” an enriching daytime workshop designed exclusively for young adults aged 18-24, nestled amidst the serene shores of the Isles of Shoals. This experience offers a unique fusion of spiritual practice, camaraderie and games, shared group discussions and creativity, and a meaningful service project. Our Journeys group will spend 2-3 hours each day with an amazing advisor exploring Faith formation/spiritual practice and working on an island service project, all while bonding as a group through team-building games and activities. Each day will also include a fun adventure such as rowing to neighboring islands to go swimming & cliff jumping, taking a look at the behind-the-scenes operation, exploring the many treasures the island has to offer; and those who are interested can take part in the annual softball game!
