What is Chrysalis?

Chrysalis is a retreat weekend designed to help young people begin, build and strengthen a relationship with Jesus Christ. During the weekend there are 15 talks given by laity and clergy to help answer questions you may have about your faith and to show the love of Christ through servanthood.

Who should attend?

Chesapeake Chrysalis is intended for those ages 15-24 years of age who are seeking to know more about God and want to experience his love and grace in a personal way.

What should I know before attending?

Chrysalis is a short course in Christianity. You will be living in a sequestered environment and asked not to bring any work, electronic devices, cell phones or watches. There will be times of silent reflection, prayer, singing, laughing, worship, sharing Holy Communion, and participation in small groups.

What should I bring with me?

Chrysalis is held in the Faith and Grace Bunk Houses at Camp Pecometh. You will need a sleeping bag or twin sheet set, pillow, blanket, towels, comfortable clothing, sweater or jacket, a Bible, medications, and personal hygiene products.
