For Teachers

At the conclusion of a REAP retreat, many students desire to apply what they have learned to their personal lives and continue growing in their faith; however, they may need guidance and direction from their teachers and youth ministers so that important lessons are not forgotten.

The time immediately following a retreat is a time of grace, since teens are often open to God in a new way. The following activities expand upon the content presented in a REAP retreat, and will encourage students to make a direct application of the retreat to their own lives.

• Mask-Making Activity and more (if the drama "Masks" was part of the retreat you attended)
• Chastity – Going Deeper on the Internet
• Chastity Challenge
• Amazing Articles on Chastity (many listed in Teacher's Guide of A Case for Chastity)
