This year we are offering several different types of “shops” instead of seminars or workshops.
Pro shops (PR) are designed for professional development;
Net shops (NT) are for networking information among others with similar interest;
Play shops (PL) are fun and teach how to have fun with others;
Soul shops (SO) are for personal spiritual development and
Youth shops (YO) are for youth that are attending with their families.

Look for the two-letter designation beside each shop title.

Please be sure to select a workshop for each of the 7 time periods listed below.

NOTE: EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION has CLOSED.

A $100 deposit per person is required to reserve your place at this event. If paying on-line registration, payment must be made in full at time of registration.

Spouses and family members accompanying registered conference attendees may choose the “Family Rate” which waives the registration fee.  This special rate is only for persons who are not camp and retreat leaders planning to attend workshops at the national gathering.  Those registered for the family rate may attend plenary worship times.  This is a very intentional option provided by the National Camp and Retreat Committee to support families who want to come together to enjoy time away as a family.  Note: All persons coming must pay housing and meals because that amount goes directly to the center and must be covered. Everyone must therefore register. 

If you have trouble registering online or if you wish to register offline, you may print out a hard copy of the registration form (available by printing out this page or downloading this pdf file or you may receive a fax copy or have a copy sent to you via USPS.
