Wednesday, July 26

• Drop off will be in the Discipleship Building (DB), also known as Calvary Christian Academy. All students will need to enter YE through the DB on Wednesday. There will be two lines, one for event check in and one for students that have already checked in. If you are a student driving yourself, a volunteer for the event or a parent hanging out in the Generous, please park on the EAST side of campus (by the Youth Building). You can walk through campus to get to the DB for check-in. The west side parking lot will be blocked off for all of YE.

• Pick up will be at the east side parking lot. All students will be dismissed on the EAST side only. Security will be instructed to lock the gate that leads to The Green and DB after the last session starts; therefore, students will not be allowed to go out through there. There will be no entry to the WEST side of campus from the sanctuary hallway or by walking around the youth building. We will have leaders at both places directing students back to the east parking lot.

Thursday, July 27

• Drop off and pick up will be on the EAST side of campus.

Friday, July 28

• Drop off and pick up will be on the EAST side of campus.

What if my student needs to leave YE early?

Just like at youth services, if your student needs to leave YE before the last session of the night is dismissed, a PARENT must go to the Information Booth (located in the sanctuary hallway) to pick up their student. We will not release any student unaccompanied into the parking lot before dismissal. This is for their safety and in compliance with our child safety policies.

We will have separate meals available for students with a food allergy included in their registration. But as always, encourage your student not to eat anything they may be allergic to. Students are welcome to bring their own meals and snacks if they would like.

If your student would like to buy any YE merchandise or snacks during the event, please send them with cash or a card for purchases. 

If your students’ registration form indicates they need special assistance during YE, Andre from our King’s Kids ministry will be reaching out to you for additional information and event accommodation details.

One of our favorite parts of YE is Color Wars. Each student will be placed on a team based on their grade. Students are more than welcome to purchase clothing in their team’s color before the event. The colors for each grade are as follows:

• 6th grade: YELLOW
• 7th and 8th grade: ORANGE
• 9th and 10th grade: PURPLE
• 11th and 12th grade: BLUE

We have an amazing opportunity for your student to publicly declare their faith. Right after the last session of YE on Friday, July 29, at 7:15pm, we’ll be having a baptism on The Green. If your student has made the decision to ask Jesus to be their Lord and Savior, whether it was at YE or before, this would be their next step of obedience to Him. Encourage them to bring a change of clothes and towel for this event. And, even if they don’t, we hope to see you out there on The Green.

They should  bring their Bible, a journal or notebook, a pen, and their name tag.

Yes, but we reserve the right to search backpacks at any time.

No, your student is not required to wear the FREE shirt they receive at check in. 

Yes, for security purposes they must.

No. All students will receive a wristband at YE check in, which CANNOT be removed at or during the event.  The wristband is to be worn for the ENTIRE event, and, for security purposes, we will not be replacing them.

Don’t make a trip back home, we’ll be able to look up the registration information.  However, your check in experience will go faster if you have the information with you.

Please send any questions via e-mail to Youth@CalvaryFTL.org and someone from our Youth Team will reach out to you.

For breakout sessions (small groups), students are separated by grade and gender. Your student will choose their own group at the first breakout session, and they will stay with that group and adult leader for all remaining breakouts.

Breakout sessions (small groups) are the only time at YE when we require all students to be in a group of their own grade and gender. We cannot accommodate special group requests.

Yes, while students are learning more about Jesus, you’ll be able to meet other parents and chat with some of our pastors and ministry leaders in the Generous Cafe.  Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase.

You will park in the EAST parking lot and enter through the EAST side Sanctuary Hallway doors.  You’ll then walk down the hall and the Generous will be on the left.  There will be plenty of leaders along the way to help you get there.

While we love it when families hang out together, we will not be allowing students into the Generous Cafe.  They have a busy schedule of activities and that section of the building is closed off to them.
