On behalf of all the campus students in the Rocky Mountain Region, we want to announce the launch of the ICMC US West pages on hereamisendme.net, the Campus ministry website for the International Churches of Christ. Registration opens on March 1! This year, the ICMC’s in the US are split East/West, but are unified in spirit and carrying a similar message.
In the US West we will be focusing on our theme ‘HIGHER’ while our brothers and sisters down in Dixie will rally around the theme of ‘DEEPER’. You can go HIGHER when you go DEEPER and let us assure you, both conferences promise to do both!
The ICMC US West is being held in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado.
Check out the Estes Park Event Center website to get a taste of what you have to look forward to.
Over the next 6 months, we will be bringing you news, updates and heartfelt stories about the ICMC. First, we want to communicate 3 very important items:
- The DATES: July 28 – 31, 2011
Click on the Schedule tab on the ICMC website to get a glimpse of how the weekend is shaping up. - The Unique Experience:
Anytime you get 800-1000 student disciples together, it is going to be something special! But hold that gathering at 8,000+ feet, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, now that is an event sure to be both spiritually and emotionally profound! Can you see the Milky Way clearly where you live? Have you ever had a friendly encounter with Elk while out on your prayer walk? When was your last Starlight Devotional? All that is waiting for you this July 28th -31st at the ICMC US West. - The ALL INCLUSIVE pricing:
We have worked very hard to make this conference financially accessible to as many as possible. Just like many resorts work on an all inclusive pricing structure, we are packaging together all the elements of our conference at one set price:- Registration
- Lodging
- ALL meals which are buffet style — all you can eat! (Can the brothers say AMEN!!)
- Parking
- All Events in one location — no taxi or bus required between events
- Wi-Fi in most rooms and all meeting spaces
- Free On-Site Dates — You can choose to dine with someone, play miniature golf, have a game of tennis, go on a hike, roller skate, and many more options while getting to know someone new.
- We deliberately planned a lot of fellowship time into the conference and the YMCA conference center offers us some great activities to facilitate just that — volleyball, basketball, frisbee golf, swimming etc. — ALL included for free!
Think about how much it would cost for all of that where you live. Even in the Denver area, the room, meals and activities would end up around $450-$500 per person. We managed to do it all for $300 per person! We believe this all inclusive pricing will save you money overall instead of the “pay-as-you-go” option. There is a slight price increase if you are staying with us Wednesday night before the conference begins, but you can check all of the details now on the ICMC US West website, www.hereamisendme.net, or the ICMC Facebook page where there will be pictures, testimonials and fun stories posted in the coming weeks and months.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Wade and Debbie Cook and the Colorado Campus Ministrties
