Embrace, Empower, Excel

At Radiant Roots, our mission is to create a sanctuary where teens feel valued and can explore, discover, and celebrate their unique ethnic-racial identities.

What do we offer?

Radiant Roots Retreat Camp is a 4-day, 3-night, nondenominational Christian faith-based camping program developed for female youth ages 11-14 interested in increasing their ethnic-racial identity knowledge, self-esteem, and coping strategies for bullying and discrimination. We desire to allow our teens to be teens through fun activities. We facilitate healing and restoration through the Gospel of Jesus Christ and by engaging in workshops, cultural activities, and open dialogues, teaching and equipping them to share love, trust, forgiveness, hope, and prayer.
