Getaway Conference

January 31 - February 2, 2025

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11 (The Message)
Matthew 11 (The Message)

Getaway Conference is a new experience designed to equip students with the knowledge and tools to find rest in Jesus through any season of life.

So many students struggle to keep up with the demands of school, extra curricular activities, family & friend relationships, etc. Oftentimes, when life gets busy, Jesus gets put on the backburner. However, Jesus promises to give rest to all who come to Him and give Him their burdens (Mt. 11:28). At Getaway Conference, students will gain the knowledge and tools to find rest even when life is busy or overwhelming.

Open to all students grades 7-12 | Clovis Hills North Campus | Registration opens November 6 | $150 total | Deposit of $75 required

How much does Getaway Conference Cost?

The cost is $150. This is over a $200 price drop from last year’s camp!

What does the $150 get me?

Students who attend Getaway Conference will be able to take part in four sessions, three AfterParties, Breakout Groups, fellowship time, four meals, and way too many snacks. They will also receive their free Getaway Conference T-shirt!

What are we doing at the afterparties?

 

All sorts of fun activities! Laser tag, outdoor activities, recreation tournaments, inflatables, obstacle courses, dessert bars, and a WHOLE lot more!!

How do payments work?

There is a non-refundable deposit of $75 to reserve your spot at Getaway Conference. Then there will be a remaining balance of $75 to complete the payment of $150. This can either be paid in full upon checkout, or you could set up a plan to pay as you go! If there is a First Time Guest, they will be eligible to receive a $50 discount. The discount will be applied to the remaining balance after the non-refundable deposit is paid.

Are scholarships available?

With Getaway Conference being so much cheaper than winter camp, we are not offering scholarships as much as we have in the past. If you need assistance, please email kayla.diaz@hillsonline.org.

Where will students sleep?

Students will NOT be sleeping at the church. Students will need to find transportation to/from the church each day either by parents/guardians or themselves if they can drive. Pickup/Dropoff times will be sent to the parent via email upon registration!

Is food provided?

Yes! We will provide food for the following meals: Friday PM Dinner, Saturday Lunch, Saturday PM Dinner, Sunday PM Dinner & Snacks during the AfterParties!

Are the AfterParties mandatory?

Yes, they are an intentional part of our program for Getaway Conference. If you (the parent) need to make special accommodations for early pickup, please email kayla.diaz@hillsonline.org or call the church office 559.297.2600.

What if my student can’t make it to every session? Can I get a discount?

Unfortunately, we aren’t providing discounts for partial attendance. Please make us aware if your student is unable to attend a session so we can plan accordingly. Please email kayla.diaz@hillsonline.org to make these arrangements.

Can my student leave early?

We ask that students do not leave early. If they must, please make those arrangements in advance with us. Anyone who leaves early MUST check out first – there are no in and out privileges.  NO EXCEPTIONS. If any students choose to leave campus, we will no longer be liable or be able to ensure their safety. If your student is planning on driving themselves, please note that if they choose to leave, that is not something we can control! Please encourage them to be in contact with you if they choose to leave early.
