Graduation & Senior Activities

Register Here for the Senior Kairos Retreat.

• The Kairos Journey retreat is a three-day, two-night retreat away from campus. All other retreats build up to this summative senior experience. It is a long-held tradition that is not mandatory, but all seniors are encouraged to participate in this special experience!
• When registering for Kairos, student athletes are asked to consider avoiding their season of sport and/or play-off schedules in order to minimize impact on their team.
• Consider signing up for Kairos without your besties. Year after year, seniors say that attending Kairos without their group was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but turned out to be the best decision ever.
• Registration is on a first come, first served basis.We will do its best to satisfy each student’s needs and preferences, but please note that the sooner you complete the form, the better your chances of securing a place on the retreat of your choice. All form submissions are automatically time stamped.
• There is no fee to register - the cost of retreats is covered in tuition! However, choose your date carefully because there is a cancellation fee of $200 if you cancel within 2 weeks of the retreat.

Fill out this form if interested in leading or want more information.

The Alpha retreat is from September 16 at 1:30 PM to September 17 at 12 PM.

• • Retreat Leaders must be present for the entire retreat
    • • There will be 5 required after-school training and planning meetings beginning the week of August 15.
