5. TRIP COST (Required): The total cost to attend  ($190.00) covers all of the costs required to attend including admission, hotel arrangements, transportation and breakfast, lunch and dinner for the duration of the trip.
This cost is broken down into two parts:
1. A non-refundable $100 deposit upon registration, which will apply toward the total cost of the trip due.
2. The final remaining cost, due Sunday, March 2, 2025.

NOTE: We do our absolute best to keep the cost to attend as low as we can, while not compromising the conference experience - this includes providing transportation through volunteer vehicles, providing meals in bulk as well as mobilizing attendees to participate in a fundraiser leading up to the trip.

6. OPTIONAL COSTS: There will be merchandise available at the event that is not included in the trip fee. Participants may bring additional funds to purchase merchandise. Additionally, any extra snacks and/or beverages are not included in the trip fee. Participants are, however, invited to bring these on trip if desired.

7. WAIVER (Required): All participants (including attending chaperones and any students over 18) are required to complete a waiver form in order to attend the event.

TAP HERE to submit your waiver form online.

8. ROOMING ARRANGEMENTS: All rooming arrangements will be placed at the discretion of the event leadership.  While we cannot make any guarantees, we ask that you please inform the event leadership of any rooming requests, and we will take this into consideration as we make arrangements.

9. SWIMMING: Due to scheduling constraints, there will be no swimming at the hotel during this event.

10. BAGS: Due to space constraints, all participants are permitted one bag (such as a gym bag) for trip necessities and a hand bag (such as a purse). Additionally, the conference has a strict bag policy. Clutch bags (approximately the size of a hand) are the only bags permitted into the conference center. Medical Necessities will be the only exception.  

11. SAFETY: The safety of all of participants is our utmost priority. This trip and those attending with Victory Church is hosted by a chaperoning staff of adults organized by the leadership of Victory Church (screened and background checked) and overseen by our Generations Pastor with 15 years experience hosting students on trips just like this. All participation at the conference, hotel, food sites, and transportation throughout is done as a group and monitored by our adult team. If you have any additional questions about how we ensure a safe trip for all attendees, please contact, Generations Pastor, Jake Ollervides, with any questions and/or concerns before and/or during the event.

12. USE OF PHONES: Attendees will be permitted to carry a phone on their person at all times, and will be permitted use of them at all times with the exception of points in the weekend when the event is in session. This is so each attendee, and those in their proximity receive the most from the event without distraction. During these times, if emergency contact needs to be made,  an attendee may notify a chaperone. Additionally, if you need to make emergency contact with an attendee during these times, please reference the contact information for the event leadership below (note that the reception at the conference center is very limited for everyone) and we will do our best to put you in touch as quickly as possible.
