CAMP THEME “TO BE CONTINUED...”

This year we will explore the life of Elijah the Prophet and help students understand that: You are called into the Story of God You can trust that God can provide because He is real. When you despair, God will sustain because He is here. You will find purpose when God sends you to reach others. You will continue as God’s Spirit empowers and His mission endures. Your story, Elijah’s story, God’s story... They’re all still being written... Because they’re all to be continued.

SKIP A MEAL Once during the week, MOVE asks everyone to skip-ameal. The money is used to help fund MOVE’s International Conferences in places such as India, Ghana, Costa Rica, Philippines, Myanmar, and others. During “skip-a-meal” the campus will not provide a meal, however, you are welcome to take your group off campus for lunch.

YOUTH GROUP TIME Each night after the Evening Session, each group will get together to talk about the day and pray together.

B I G 1 0 Q U E S T I O N S ( FA Q F O R L E E U N I V E R S I T Y ) 1

HOW MANY PEOPLE IN A ROOM? WHAT STYLE ARE THE ROOMS?

6

Most rooms are suite style, with two rooms connected by a bathroom. We have a few dorms that are traditional style dorms, with each room opening to the hallway and sharing a community bathroom. Both the traditional and suite-style rooms sleep two to a room. We also have apartment style dorms. These dorms have two rooms, two bathrooms, a living area and a kitchen. The apartment as a whole sleeps four (two to a room).

Everything is within reasonable walking distance. Any dorm that may be farther away than others is usually nicer, so it’s worth the extra walk!

7

WHAT TYPE OF BATHROOMS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE DORMS?

8

WHAT IS THE BEST RESTAURANT ON CAMPUS OR NEAR BY? There is Lupi’s Pizza Pies right down the road from campus as well as The Spot and Gardner’s Market which are located in our “downtown” area which is right next to campus. As far as local hot spots, Jenkin’s Deli is always a favorite as well as anyway of our many Mexican restaurants (a student favorite is Tres Hermanos which is right down the road as well.) Perkits Yogurt is another local favorite!

They will either be between two rooms (four to a bathroom), community restrooms allowing the whole hall to use them, or apartment style (three to a bathroom).

3

WHAT ARE THE FOOD OPTIONS AVAILABLE ON CAMPUS? On campus, we have our dining hall, Einstein’s Bagel, Dunkin’ Donuts, Subway, Jazzman’s Coffee, Chick-Fil-A and a couple of “Simply To Go” stations that have light lunches or things that can be eaten on the run.

(NOTE: Room assignments are based on registration date)

2

WHAT IS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE DORMS, THE MAIN MEETING SPACE AND THE CAFETERIA?

ARE THE DORMS AIR-CONDITIONED? Yes, every dorm has air-conditioning.

9 4

IS THERE A POOL ON CAMPUS?

We are about 30-45 minutes away from the Downtown Chattanooga area, which is great for walking and hanging out with large groups! As far as local activities, most students enjoy hanging out near the Rec Center every night at the basketball and volleyball courts or going to see a movie at our local movie theatre, Premier. If you are looking for an activity with a little more adventure, white water rafting down our Ocoee River is also really popular.

No, we do not have an on campus pool, there is however a community pool in the city if needed.

5

WHAT KINDS OF RECREATION OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE ON CAMPUS? We have two outdoor volleyball courts, an outdoor basketball court and multiple tennis courts. There is also an intramural softball field, a playground and many open field spaces.

WHAT IS THE BEST LOCAL ACTIVITY OR “THING TO DO”?

10

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE YOUR CAMPUS? We have a beautiful campus and most youth ministers love coming to visit the area. Our University is one of the most popular Christian Liberal Arts Universities and continues to grow each year. We love having students filling the emptiness of our students being gone, keeping our campus busy!
