WHAT ARE THE DATES FOR 2027?

  • January 29-31, 2027

WHO CAN ATTEND DISCOVER CONFERENCE?

  • Discover Conference is for middle and high school students. Leaders - this means you must leave your younger children and/or babies at home! We love them, but Discover isn't the place for them. We want your focus to be on your students.

HOW MANY ADULTS DO WE NEED TO BRING?

  • You should plan to have 1 male adult for every 7 guys & 1 female adult for every 7 girls.

HOW DO I REGISTER?

  • All registration is done online by the youth director/leader from the Youth Director Page. You will need to pay with a debit/credit card at the time of registration.

WHERE WILL WE SLEEP?

  • Epworth Forest provides cabins and dorms. Your group will be split by gender. There is a chance if you have a smaller group that you'll share a cabin with another youth group.

HOW WILL STUDENTS BE PLACED IN TRACKS?

  • This year, every student and leader will attend every track! No need to know what tracks they want to go to beforehand.

WHAT TIME DO WE NEED TO BE THERE AND WHEN WILL IT BE OVER?

  • Registration begins at 6:30 p.m. and the first session starts at 8:10pm. We will provide pizza for every group to have during youth group time. But this won't be until 9:30pm. We know what hangry students are like. Try and prevent this by planning dinner on your way up, bringing snacks with you, or having your students eat before you leave. On Sunday, the final session is over at 1:00 p.m.

WHAT ABOUT MEALS? FOOD IS IMPORTANT!

  • Five meals are included in your registration cost. Friday night pizza, Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner and Sunday brunch.
  • Because Sunday brunch is not until 10:15 a.m., we would encourage you to bring muffins, pop tarts, etc. if you don't want to wait until then to eat.

WHAT ABOUT SNACKS?

  • There is a small gift shop with limited snacks and a vending machine, but we encourage groups to bring their own snacks and drinks. There are refrigerators in most cabins/dorms.

WHAT IF ONE OF MY STUDENTS GET SICK WHILE AT DISCOVER?

  • We do not have an onsite nurse. The adult leader/youth director will be responsible for their own students.

WILL THERE BE FREE TIME? IF SO, WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO DO?

  • On Saturday afternoon we have a block of time set aside for free time. We will provide more organized activities, plus have quieter space available for those who like to read, play games, color, do crafts, etc. There is also a sweet tubing hill with tubes provided (weather permitting). 


One important note for 2027: Everyone will receive a t-shirt! The cost is included in your registration.
