Time Commitment

PFO schedules the season so that it does not conflict with school calendars, including testing and teacher workdays. In addition, a majority of our teens participate in other activities such as part-time jobs, school clubs, sports, arts lessons, and more.
After the Annual Retreat, we will sit down with you to design your personalized PFO package, which will take into account your interests and availability.

There are a few mandatory full-group experiences throughout the year. Mandatory dates include:

Annual Retreat: August 13 - 17 (afternoon/evenings during week, all day Saturday, afternoon Sunday)

Mid-Year Retreat: December 12- 13 (Friday evening, all day Saturday)

End Of Year Retreat: April 25 (all day)
The above information has been reviewed by our family and is honest and true. We understand that Playing for Others will be in touch to schedule an interview.We have reviewed the Playing for Others calendar and made note of the mandatory dates. We understand that an inability to attend the Annual Retreat in full disqualifies a teen from participation in the PFO program for that year.
