Why go?

This is the question you should really ask! Why should I spend my time reflecting on my life at a retreat? It is hard to know until you have tried. Maybe you are scared about going off to college. Maybe you are trying to decide if you want to go to college. Maybe you are hurt. Maybe you are healed—and wish to rejoice. Maybe you don’t know if God really cares. Maybe you are scared to find out how much He does care.

There are so many reasons those who have already experienced Kairos could give you about why you should go to a Y-LIFE retreat, but first you have to choose to trust them. Thousands of teens experience Kairos each year. They go and discover who they really are and how they want to live.

Maybe the best reason to go is that someone cares enough about you to invite you. Talk to past Kairos participants, youth ministers, or priests and ask them why. Even if you decide not to go, you owe it to yourself to explore why so many people consider that a retreat is an essential experience in their lives.
