DETAILS:
Every year Unite Youth attends Arise Conference. This year we will be attending the conference in Christchurch and we are so excited to have your teenager joining us. The conference will be in the second week of the term 2 school holidays (July 16th - 19th). It has us joining thousands of other teenagers, families and churches to listen to world-renown speakers at the largest Christian conference in New Zealand. Every year we’ve been, the youth are hugely impacted and always come back feeling revitalized and excited - so we are extremely excited to see what this year will do in the lives of the young people.
COST:
The cost involved comes as a package deal including: transport, accommodation, a conference ticket, and breakfast and dinner.
This all equates to one of the lowest costing years we’ve had of $200
This amount includes breakfast and dinners. We will eat all together at our accommodation with the help of our conference parents cooking etc.
We recommend supplying your young person with an extra $40 for lunches. Some spending money is also recommended.
A deposit of $100 has to be made by the 30th June. Talk to us about the option of paying-it-off.
payment INFORMATION:
Any payment made by direct debit or online banking MUST include your young person’s last name and the code AR19 as references. This is so we can keep track of all the payments and ensure your payment is traceable.

TRAVEL:
We will be traveling to Christchurch and back in vans. Van hire and petrol are all covered in the initial cost. The only people driving the vans will have had their full license for at least two years.
We are staying 15 minutes away from the conference location so there will be a short commute each day to the conference. Its advised to bring a packed lunch for the first day as we travel down. It’s a long drive and food on the way is expensive.
