WHAT IS SUMMER CONFERENCE?
Summer Con is a week-long trip to Catalina Island where we get to look at Scripture, spend time away from LA, make new friends, and get a chance to rest and recharge. It's perfect for anyone who is seeking to experience more of God no matter your spiritual background! Each day we join together for 3 sessions to look deeply at Scripture in a communal, inductive format. We start with the gospel of Mark and build on that from each year. It's a great opportunity to grow in your faith or learn about faith for the first time and do so in community. Many students look back on their times at Summer Con as defining moments of their college career, and faith life in general. For your first time, you start with the first half of the gospel of Mark (Mark 1) and then your second time you finish Mark (Mark 2). After you've finished Mark we have a new option each year (Prayer Seminar, OT Survey, Acts, Senior Seminar, etc.) These times of Scripture study will be interspersed with free-time in the afternoons and evenings where you can enjoy being on the island. During our afternoon free times you can hike, sit on the beach, swim, play volleyball or basketball, kayak, paddle board, play games, and enjoy being on a beautiful island. WHAT TO BRING Sleeping bag, pillow, flashlight, towel, personal items for bathroom/showers (hot showers and bathroom facilities are available at camp), notebook, pens, warm clothes (it will get cold at night), modest swim suit, and sunscreen. There is a snack/gift shop as well as a book table, so be sure to bring some money if you want to buy anything. ATTENDANCE We have a strict attendance policy once registered. No one is allowed to arrive late or leave the conference early without talking to Justin or Gabby first. |
