RETREAT FOR YOUNG WOMEN

🌿🦋 Empowering Young Women

Lilydale High School is pleased to share information about the UR Retreat, an annual camp program run by Bridge Builders since 2006.

This retreat is designed specifically for young women aged 13–15 and provides a supportive, nurturing environment for personal growth and wellbeing.

The program supports participants who may be experiencing challenges such as low self-esteem, bullying, body image concerns, mental health struggles, or difficult home environments. It aims to help young women build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self-worth.

Over the four-day retreat at Camp Toolangi (21–24 September 2026), students take part in a range of engaging workshops, outdoor activities, and inspirational guest speaker sessions. These may include topics such as goal setting, self-defence, relationships and communication, positive body image, and overcoming life’s challenges. Activities such as high ropes, bushwalking, and team-based experiences also help students develop confidence and connection in a supportive setting.

The UR Retreat is led by experienced volunteer facilitators who are committed to creating a safe, caring, and judgement-free environment where young women are encouraged to recognise their strengths and potential.
