Saturday, March 20th is our Teen 1 Day!

We have an incredible lineup of Teen speakers and talent at the conference.

We thought it would be great to put them to great use and put on a teen one-day event.

This is "no planning" for you the leader…just add your teens (both HS and Middle School). We’ll handle all the programming including lunch for this awesome Saturday!

You can make it a great overnight experience. Pls, see the hotel page for great deals. Plan to enjoy some of the nightlife in Seattle or enjoy the Michale Junior Comedy Concert Friday night at Crossroads (ticket purchase required).

We are offering 1 youth sponsor FREE for every 8 students registered to help with hosting / “crowd control” for you.
