HYFAEC 35th Anniversary, Haitian Youth Federation
DonateRetreat 2027

A little space. A deeper purpose.

Yes, we saved
this space.

Yeah, we know. It takes up a lot of room.
That’s intentional. And we’re proud of it.

This is our Sabbath column. Inspired by the Adventist Creation Grid, our layout has seven columns. Six carry our stories, photos, and activities. The seventh is set apart as a visual reminder of the Sabbath.

As Seventh-day Adventists, we set aside the seventh day, from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, for rest, worship, and time with God and one another.

Here at HYFAEC, we want to be intentional about everything we do. Reserving this space is one small way to express our faith and remind ourselves to make room for God, even when life gets busy.

A space set apart. A faith we’re glad to share.

More than a weekend away

A little space.
A deeper connection.

Our retreat brings young people and the leaders who support them together through worship, shared experiences, and time with God. Here is a glimpse of the moments that make it special.
