Brave the Wilderness is a week long, overnight retreat for high school students hosted and put together by several parishes from the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Held at Forest Glen in Huntsville, Texas, Brave gives students an opportunity to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ while experiencing His love in the midst of His creation. Amidst the beauty of Sam Houston National Forest, Brave the Wilderness and Expedition allow teens to meet members of other local parishes within our deanery while building lasting relationships with them and with Christ. Camp activities include zipline, rockwall, swimming, competition games, nightly talks, prayer experiences, daily Mass and so much more!
