FAQs
-
You can arrive any time after 2pm. Jacob and Anna will be there from then to help everyone get to their accomodation- why not arrive when you can to get as much hang time in as possible!
Check out is by 2pm Sunday
-
People will be arriving at all different times and vibes will be high! There is no dinner provided on site but check the WhatsApp group for information on where some people might be meeting for dinner in the area, or BYO FOOD! People will be hanging out playing games and drinking teas from 7:30ish after tents are set up and cabins are settled into.
-
All day sessions will have kids and creche programs.
Kids programs will be run by external volunteers -
Creche program will be run by City Light Parents
There is no official program during the Saturday night session, however we may try to set up a movie for any kids who want to stay up during the session -
What won’t we do Saturday afternoon? It is free time but also a good time to think about connecting with people at church you wouldn’t regularly connect with. There will be a handful of people running activities across the afternoon that you can opt in for. Think bushwalking, fishing, arts and crafts, swimming, sports, a movie. Could it get any better??
-
If you are in a cabin- Check in with Anna for where you are and put your stuff in your cabin - and relax (use the site map to find your cabin once cabin allocation is posted)
If you are camping, see Jacob to get your allocated spot and set up your campsite. (call him on 0401900448 if you can’t see him).
