The First Year Retreat invites students to connect while exploring and growing through
their college transition at the exciting setting of El Capitan Canyon. Complete with
swimming, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, s’mores and bonfires, friendships and memories
are sure to be made. We encourage all first year Westmont students to attend!
