Register for the 2026 Friends Youth Retreat (FYR) today and join us at Scattergood Friends School in West Branch, IA for a weekend of fellowship and learning. All youth are welcome, Quaker affiliation is not required.

Build community through embodied art! Let’s disconnect from technology, doom-scrolling and the 24-hour news cycle to make space for reconnection with our intrinsic creative selves and each other. Through art making, storytelling, music and community, we’ll explore what it is to experience life through connection and embodiment. Attendees will also have plenty of downtime to enjoy games, bonfires, and more. 

More details about schedule and facilitators coming soon!
