Trademarked WINTERFEST LOGOis a gathering of youth groups from all over the Eastern United States.  Teens from Tennessee to Florida to Michiagan to South Carolina to Ohio will be a part of an extraordinary weekend retreat.  Over 12,000 are expected to enjoy the uplifting worship services, keynote speakers, dramas and concets.  There will be plenty of time for fun as well. Gatlinburg is loaded with options for those times.  Go carts, shopping, ice-skating and sightseeing are some of those options.  College Hills teens may invite one friend to share the great Winterfest experience with them.

All members of College Hills Youthreach are encouraged to be a part of Winterfest 2010 in Gatlinburg, as we join with thousands of others on the weekend of February 19-21 for uplifting worship, challenging messages, encouragement, concerts, friends, and fun. This year’s theme is “The Veil". 

Winterfest guests include:  YOU, Jared Hall, Bean & Bailey, Bob Smiley, David Skidmore, Luminate, Building 429, Jeff Walling, Rockwagon Live Painters, Chris Lindsey and Watershed Guys, Thomas Aduddell, Phil Brookman, Hoss Ridgeway, Unbound, Marcus Neely, YEE, and more.

Winterfest is held at the Gatlinburg Convention Center.  Because of space limitations, College Hills’ members may invite one friend who is not a College Hills member to share the experience with them. Cost for the weekend is $125 and includes lodging at the Edgewater Hotel, transportation aboard chartered buses, and registration costs. Extra money will be needed for four meals (the hotel features a complimentary continental breakfast including hot biscuits and gravy). Partial work scholarships are available for those who would otherwise be unable to participate.  Any responsible adult who would like to go along as a chaperone, please contact Johnny.
