Presidents’ Retreat

The Presidents’ Retreat is a unique opportunity for club presidents or primary leaders to participate in a leadership experience together so they can meet, share and learn from each other. 

The structure of the Retreat has varied over the past few years but has been taking place over the course of two days: one virtual and one in-person off-campus! In the past couple years we have visited some stunning locations such as Crawford Lake and YMCA Cedar Glen.

The retreat includes a variety of events aimed at connecting and supporting presidents, including (but not limited to):

Workshops (Speaker led, round table format, interactive activity based)
Food and socializing time
Keynote speaker
Leadership in action activities
Reflection activities
Icebreaker/team building activities

The retreat takes place in mid-end of August every year. Information on the upcoming retreat and applications will be available in July.

The Presidents' Retreat was a very refreshing experience. Despite being a part of my club for the past 3 years and knowing the club structure and its goals, developing my own leadership skills and thinking about my passions was brought out in the session.

This was the most human experience I've had at U of T.

As leader of a small club that is still getting back on its feet after going virtual during the pandemic, it was invigorating to be chat with and learn from other leaders.
