Retreat Leadership

Seniors are the primary leaders for all student retreats (except the Senior Discernment Retreat which is led by adults.)

Advanced Leaders lead the 9th Grade Welcome Retreat in October if they attend the two required trainings.

The 10th Grade Superhero Retreat is typically led by juniors and seniors.

Any senior who previously experienced the Junior Kairos Retreat may apply to be a Kairos leader. Application process typically happens in May, after the last Kairos of the year. Seniors are needed for multiple leadership roles including Rector (main student leader), Assistant Rector, Small Group Leader, and Home Team who support and build the connection between the school and parent community, and retreatants.
