“Chrysalis is more than a three-day mountaintop experience for young people.”

The three-day experience aims to deepen young people’s experience of God’s companionship for everyday life and to strengthen their commitment to follow Jesus back into their familiar environments of friendships, school, family, church, and work. Chrysalis supports young people’s return to the world by encouraging and strengthening their local church and youth group connections.

Chrysalis also provides follow-up through “Next Steps” and “Hoots.”

Next Steps Groups are small groups of young people who have been on a Chrysalis Flight or Journey. These groups meet regularly to participate in a time of sharing and fellowship.

Hoots are larger, less frequent, gatherings of all the young people in an area who or have not have participated in Chrysalis for the purpose of renewing relationships, rekindling the fire of faith, and planning to support upcoming Chrysalis weekends.
