Youth church retreat outfits live in joggers and hoodies. Teens and college students rotate between athletic wear, the branded retreat tee, and a hoodie or crewneck for the entire weekend. Pack a second hoodie. Below are seven outfit ideas built for the youth and college retreat audience from the Pro Shops catalog.
Athletic joggers, the Bear Grips Comfort Soft Hoodie or the womens cropped hoodie, a cotton tee underneath, and sneakers. Comfortable for the bus or van ride to the retreat center. Easy to layer up or down as the weather changes.
The branded retreat tee tucked or untucked, joggers, a hoodie tied at the waist, and sneakers. The group photo day look. The tee design reads clean and the hoodie is ready when the temperature drops.
Athletic shorts (mens or womens cuts), a moisture-wicking tee or tank, athletic shoes, a hat, and a hair tie on the wrist. Built for capture the flag, ultimate frisbee, swimming, or the high-energy rec games every youth retreat schedules.
The branded retreat tee under a crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie, joggers or sweatpants, and a beanie. For the late-night campfire worship session that runs cold and long. Comfortable for sitting on the ground or in cabin couches.

For youth retreats the storefront workflow is slightly different than adult retreats. Most youth pastors set up the Pro Shops storefront and share the link in the parent email three to four weeks before the retreat. Parents order the size for their teen. The apparel ships to the home address before the retreat. The youth pastor does not collect sizes or distribute shirts on site.
Tees, hoodies, joggers, and crewnecks in youth and adult sizes. Parents order their teen size online.
