  BE BRAVE: Accept the Challenge of God’s Love

   

  The Junior Retreat invites students to wrestle with the idea of what it means to be brave.  There are three overnight retreats offered for juniors during the course of the year. All juniors are expected to attend one of the overnight retreats. Students will participate in challenge course activities and discuss what it means to be brave.

   

  Juniors have their first opportunity to experience the Kairos retreat in the spring.  The Kairos retreat is a powerful three-night, four-day, peer-led experience that gently guides students toward a deeper understanding of themselves, their community, and God.

   

  Juniors are welcome to apply for retreat leadership opportunities, including the Freshman Retreat and Brave Plunge.
