GCYM Winterfest 2007

GCYM Winterfest 2007 Info.

• Dates:  Feb 16-18, 2007

• Location:  Gatlinburg, TN

• We will be traveling by charter bus.  We will leave at 7 a.m. on the 16th from the Grand Central Church Building

• We will return late on the 18th.  (difficult to estimate an exact time this far in advance)

• We will be staying at the Royal Townhouse (same as last year)

• The Concert this year is by Jars of Clay

• Costs:


• Mandatory


• $35 –Hotel


• $21—Winterfest Passes


• Optional/Extra


• $10—Concert Tickets


• $10—T-Shirt

• Meals—This trip will involve 6 meals.  (We will provide a light breakfast on the two mornings we are in Gatlinburg, and we are assuming that you will eat breakfast before you get on the bus on Friday).  Because Gatlinburg is a Tourist area, you should figure that each meal will be slightly more expensive than a fast food meal at home.  Students will be responsible for keeping up with their own meal money.

• Our deadline for signing up for this trip is Wednesday, January 24.


• Please note that this is also the deadline for taking your name off the list if you sign up.  After this point, we will have committed to pay for your Winterfest tickets and hotel room and you will still be asked to keep your financial obligation.
