A retreat is a period of time lasting a few days where Christian youth come together for fellowship, reflection, and learning. These are booklets produced for the Light Korean Presbyterian Church Hi-C (Youth) Ministry.

The booklet serves several purposes. The imagery along with the provided quotes act as reminders of the theme of the retreat (the theme changes every year). It also informs the reader of the schedule and upcoming sermons as well as having ample room for writing notes.

The budget for the youth ministry is tight as it is and therefore had no money for high-production costs. The church has its own facilities for copying in black and white, which can be used for free. The booklet spreads fit on a standard 8.5" x 11" piece of paper, which once printed double-sided just need to be copied, folded in half, and stapled. Simplicity and economy while maintaining a nice aesthetic was the goal of the design.
