SUMMARY:Convo 2018
DESCRIPTION:Over Memorial Day weekend\, hundreds of Youth (grades 6-12) and adult youth workers will gather at the University of Puget Sound for Convo\, three days of worship\, fun\, and learning. This United Methodist youth retreat is a fantastic opportunity to connect with friends new and old from across the Pacific Northwest!\n\nOur theme this year is Instruments of Peace.  Our speaker\, Rev. Hannah Adair Bonner will lead us in learning more about becoming an Instrument of Peace. We will be exploring tools to help us learn how to be a better participant in difficult conversations.\n \nEvery year\, Convo is planned by an excellent team of youth and supportive adults who have a passion and dedication to making this the best event it can be; this year is no exception. We’ve been hosting this “Bishop’s Youth Convocation” for over 40 years and we are praying for a weekend where both youth and adults are equipped and recharged to live as passionate disciples of Jesus Christ. \nWho Can Go?\nConvo is for youth currently in grades 6 – 12 and their adult leaders. We ask churches to send one adult\, who has completed a national background check\, to accompany every 1- 6 youth of each gender. We will try to accommodate youth in cases where this isn’t possible. Cost is $175 for all retreat participants both youth and adults. We do offer a discount to those who are leading workshops or small groups. If you are leading a workshop or small group and you do not have your discount code please contact Teri. We offer scholarships\, for those in financial need\, to help to make this retreat possible for all. \nRegistration\nConvo registration is online. Each youth and adult registering must fill out an online registration form. We are using a new registration system this year . One of the features of our new system will allow you to able to register multiple people at the same time for Convo. If you have difficulties with the registration process\, please contact us and we’d be happy to help! \nYour registration fee includes your lodging as well as food from dinner Saturday through breakfast on Monday. \nConvo Dance theme this year is Pajama Party. \nRegistration will close at 11:59PM PST May 7th\, 2018. \nRegistration is Closed\nHelpful Files: \nConvo 18 Poster \nConvo 2018 Postcard \nWorkshopDescriptions \nConvo 18 Banner or Facebook Cover Photo \nConvo_2018_Scholarship_Form \nConvo FAQ \nMore about our Speaker:Rev.
