Catholic retreat. Look, it’s a nice experience for those who have a lot of friends and have a good relationship with their
parents. It’s lead by a few students chosen by staff and they run the entire retreat. Ofc it’s gonna be the goody two shoes
kids. They also give these “talks” and make you write notes on what they’re saying. There’s this thing called “letters night”, and you get letters from friends and family members. They read the letters your
parents wrote to you in front of everyone and everyone cries. It’s
awkward if you’re not emotional or have a bad relationship with your
parents. They also do this thing where you
go apologize and forgive your opps. It’s in-genuine. None of the “friends” you make at kairos are real, and they’re not gonna actually talk to you at school. You also have to “react” to the “talks” and speak in front of everyone. The staff gives everyone a gag order to not tell anyone what happens at kairos. They play it up to be this big magical life changing experience. It’s not. It ain’t allat. I can see why a lot of
people like it. But it’s not for everyone.
