Chrysalis is a three-day spiritual renewal retreat for youth based on the Walk to Emmaus. The idea or picture surrounding Chrysalis is that of a caterpillar, which then enters a "chrysalis" or cocoon stage and finally emerges as a butterfly. This is a parallel to II Corinthians 5:17 which speaks of becoming a new creation in Christ. The weekend or "Flight" begins on a Thursday evening and continues until Sunday evening.
During a Chrysalis Flight a young person has an opportunity to learn more about faith in Christ and how to grow deeper in that faith through fellowship, singing, discussion, recreation and prayer. They will experience the love of God for them in action throughout the weekend. And just as the caterpillar must "die" to itself and then be transformed into the butterfly, so too will the young person experience a similar transformation in their commitment and walk with Christ.
