It’s time to register for the Junior High Youth Gathering in November! As a reminder, we’re returning to the two-night schedule, which means that you get to choose between a Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday event. To register your congregation, you will need the following information: number of youth participants, number of adult participants, T-shirt sizes for ALL participants, and a form of payment ready to submit online (credit card or check information).
In the accompanying information packet, you will find a health permission form (one per participant); please prepare two copies, one for your group and one to be handed over at check-in. There is also information in the packet about making lodging arrangements with the local hotels. Please be proactive and flexible with this! We recommend bringing sleeping bags along and fitting six students in each room.
