Answer: The cost per person pays for your stay at a condo or hotel in Branson (see package options) as well as the four nights of worship, three morning celebrations, late night concerts, Thematic Bible study content, a giveaway t-shirt per participant and one copy of Student Life: The Magazine which includes Bible study, quiet times and special features.
Answer: It is very helpful to have transportation available to your group all week as most of the properties are anywhere from half a mile to five miles away from where worship takes place.
Answer: Student Life will have a reserved lot for Worship Gatherings that will be free for parking. Each property has their own parking policies, however the majority of them offer free parking to customers.
Answer: There is limited bus parking at some of the properties. Arrangements need to be made with the property regarding large buses and people movers.
Answer: There is a large parking lot surrounding the facility, large enough for busses and vehicles.
Answer: Corporate gatherings happen twice a day. We meet for "Celebration" at 10:30 in the morning and "Worship" at 7:30 on the first night and 7:00 on nights 2, 3 and 4. The rest of the day is free for your group to spend as they choose! There are 2 concerts that happen on the 2nd and 3rd day of the event.
Answer: "Yes," we do, BUT we ask the local church to monitor their students' clothing. In Worship we ask that girls not wear anything too short or low cut, as well as no tank tops or spaghetti strap shirts. The guys should not wear clothes with holes in them, tank tops or muscle shirts or any clothes with questionable words or pictures. And while we are in the pools, girls need to wear one-piece bathing suits and guys should wear board-style bathing suits.
Answer: In a word, "No." Student Life does try to accommodate groups that are over 200 people so that they can sit in the same area, but individuals cannot save seats for their group.
Answer: These are just some of the many things to do in/around Branson, MO: The Titanic Museum Branson Scenic Railway Celebration City (Small Theme Park) Mini-golf White Water Rafting Hollywood Wax Museum Silver Dollar City (Large Theme Park) Go-Cart Racing And much more...!
Question: What is the adult to student ratio?
Answer: One adult for every five students is requested. The Thousand Hills Golf Resort condominiums require 1 adult per unit.
Answer: Every property is different. If you register for a property that has kitchens, we will try to allot at least ONE kitchen for every group. Though there are no guarantees, we work very hard to make kitchens available to all groups where kitchens are available.
Answer: Student Life works hard to get rooms close together, but there are no guarantees. We realize it's best for the group if rooms are close together, so we try to accommodate every group as best we can.
Answer: Student Life is given a limited number of rooms at every property. We want as many students and adults to be able to join us as possible, so we use EVERY bed space we possibly can to help keep your cost low. The majority of the rooms we use are standard hotel rooms with 2 beds in them. Some hotels may also have a sleeper sofa. Condo units are set up differently and may contain any combination of the following: king beds, queen beds, twin beds, pull-out beds and roll-a-ways. Roll-a-ways are not available at every property and depending on the room size, roll-a-ways may not be an option because of fire codes.
Answer: Limited room inventory doesn't allow for us to reserve rooms just for individual families. If you inquire and one becomes available, the room comes at an additional cost and is determined by location. This information is often not known until Rooming Lists have been submitted.
Answer: The online Event Prep Center will equip you to arrive ready. Some of the items you'll find online that we need BEFORE arriving are the Group Leader Agreement, your Rooming List and your Final Balance.
Answer: Registration is taking place where you will meet for Worship Gatherings. It is VERY important that your group arrive BEFORE 4pm EST to ensure that you get checked into the event and your condo/hotel. Every group MUST check in with Student Life BEFORE checking into your condo/hotel. Always allow more time than you think when estimating your travel time. Groups showing up after 4pm won't be able to check in until after Worship.
Answer: If this is the case, it's important that you notify Student Life at the time your register. Additional rooms can be added to your registration IF THEY ARE AVAILABLE. There will be an additional charge for extra rooms added to your registration.
