F.A.Q

What is this retreat about?

Within this 3 day event, we will worship together, pray for one another, share resources, meet new friends, connect with the Lord while surrounded by the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, and generally have a lot of fun. Our main goal is to provide a place of refreshing, renewal, and connection for you, the worship leader. Our hope is that through this retreat, we can all develop a closer walk with God and deeper relationship with our co-laborers in this thing called worship. This event is not intended to be a "consumer driven" or "personality driven" event, so come ready to share and receive. There is such a wealth of resources that God has deposited in each one of us. We need each other; giving and receiving. This should prove to be a great retreat and we hope you will all prayerfully consider attending this year. We look forward to seeing you there!

What is included in the cost of registration?

Prices listed are the cost for ONE individual registration and include 3 nights lodging, 8 meals and conference fees. (The "No Lodging" rate includes 8 meals and conference fees for local residents only.).  Please note that travel is NOT included in the price of any registration. 

Who can come? 

Any senior or main service worship leader, staff worship leader, small group worship leader, music director, worship pastor/coordinator or youth worship leader. 

Who are the worship leaders/speakers?

Because this event is primarily about community and retreat, we typically
do not post who is leading worship or who the speakers may be prior to our
time together.  We draw from a deep pool of experienced worship leaders
and speakers as well as gifted newcomers, and our times together reflect
this diversity.

What are my room options?

You can register for a single, double or party room.  For a private room, register at the "Singe Room" rate.  If you'd like to share with one other person, register at the "Double Room" rate.  And if you'd like to save a little money then you can register at the "Party Room" rate and you'll be placed in a room with up to SIX other people.

What is a "Party Room"?

"Party Rooms" can hold up to SEVEN (7) people total.  Each room has 3 sets of bunk beds and one (1) full size bed, along with its own bathroom.  Party Rooms are a lot of fun and a great way to save a few dollars!

If I register at the "Double" or "Party" Room rate, do I need to register enough people to fill the room?

No! If you’d like to register at the "Double" or "Party" room rate and don’t have any specific roommate requests, we would be happy to take care of that for you and put you in a room with some wonderful new friends!

Do I need to know my roommates before I register? 

No. When you register you will see a space which allows you to make roommate requests and we do our best to accommodate these requests.  However, if you’d like to register for a double room or party room and don’t have any specific roommate requests, we would be happy to take care of that for you and put you with some wonderful new friends!

What if something comes up and I have to cancel? 

Please note that there is a $75 cancellation fee until September 20th.  After September 20th, 2011 we will no longer give refunds or take cancellations.
