All potential registrants or scholarship applicants must contact our student ministry admin assistant directly. As long as there are spots available in a student’s appropriate small group and bus assignment, a student will be allowed to come. Any student who registers after the deadline cannot be assured that they will be with their desired small group. Students who register after the deadline cannot be assured they will receive a t-shirt. If they do, it may not be in their requested size.

Packing List coming this Spring after Theme Nights are decided.
