Senior G.I.F.T. (Growing In Faith Together) Days

Prior to the start of the school year seniors gather on the shores of Lake Michigan at Camp Blodgett for a two-day experience known as G.I.F.T. Days. The days comprised of small group discussions and presentations following a theme are planned and facilitated by students, staff and parent volunteers. The event culminates with a Eucharistic celebration on the beach.
