2026 RESIDENT RETREAT
Each year, the DDM Resident Retreat is one of the most anticipated moments on our community calendar. It’s a special time set aside just for our residents to step away from routine, enjoy new experiences, and simply have fun together. From games, crafts, and outdoor activities to worship, music, and meaningful moments of reflection, the retreat is thoughtfully designed to nurture joy, connection, and personal growth.
​
More than anything, the Resident Retreat is a time of refreshment. Residents build friendships, create lasting memories, and return home feeling renewed, encouraged, and celebrated. It’s a beautiful reminder of the power of community and the importance of creating spaces where everyone can belong, thrive, and be themselves.
