Looking for an opportunity for your high school youth and your adult mentors to dive deeper into discipleship and evangelization?
KREWE began as a response to parish needs for a leadership training for their high school leaders in the summer of 2017. Six parishes expressed interest in providing a "next level" experience where select high school students identified as leaders could grow deeper in their faith and learn methods in how to evangelize to their peers. KREWE Discipleship training is now transformed, adjusting to the needs of our time as Rooted Apprenticeship Academy.

If you’ve ever wanted to take your students on a deeper retreat weekend but could never feel like you had enough students or enough chaperones then this is the opportunity to come together as the Church of Green Bay with your young people to help lead them closer to Christ.
This process kicks off with the Rooted Weekend Experience (retreat) for your high school youth and adult mentors at Camp Tekakwitha on October 21,22,23. This weekend will be a chance for your students to encounter Christ through young adult led talks, small groups, sacraments, and the beautiful natural settings of Camp Tek.
Participating parishes or schools will have the opportunity to meet and coach youth leaders and volunteer mentors before and after the weekend experience. Parishes and schools will be provided with 8 follow up sessions and tips on how to run them at home for your teens. Your teens and adults will then be invited to a training retreat in the winter and eventually be invited to run the next Rooted Weekend Experience. If you feel the Holy Spirit tugging you to try something new with your teens and adults then this is the opportunity for you. Parishes and schools are required to send adult mentors with students on the weekend to accompany the students through the weekend and to be equipped to continue the path of discipleship with the students when they get home.
Interested parish or school leaders should contact Tommy Nelson for more info or to register your group at [email protected].
