April 26-27, 2019. High schoolers and their youth leaders are encouraged to attend this youth event held at Bethel OPC in Wheaton, Illinois. Plan to arrive on Friday between 7-8 PM and expect to be done on Saturday at 2:30 PM.
This overnight youth rally will be full of Fun, Fellowship, Food and Friendship.
FUN: Card and board games on Friday during and after registration. Later that evening there’s Cocoa and Campfire. Saturday’s plan includes the Mega Game from 10:30 AM until noon.
