ROCK is an annual weekend conference of youth from all over the Baltimore-Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church. It's held in Ocean City every January. This year ROCK is Friday January 11 through Sunday January 13.
ROCK is an exciting combination of packing into the OC Convention Center with more than five thousand other youth to sing, pray and listen to great speakers, spending time together as a youth group, hanging out at our hotel and visiting the Boardwalk. Students consistently say this is one of their favorite things we do as a group.
ROCK 2008 registration is now open. You are registered when I receive a check for $50, payable to Ashton UMC from your parent. This deposit is non-refundable. Total cost for the three day weekend will be between $100 and $125. This includes the conference fee, hotel room, transportation, breakfast Saturday and Sunday, and a t-shirt. Students will need to bring additional money for dinner Friday and Saturday, lunch Saturday and Sunday and any money they want to spend on the Boardwalk or at the conference store which sells Christian books, music, etc. The balance of the cost will be due on or before Sunday December 16. Scholarships are available - don't let money keep you from attending ROCK.
The deadline for ROCK 2008 registration is Sunday October 14th at the end of youth group. After that time I'll be unable to accept any more registrations. This will ensure that we are able to get space for our group on the main floor at the conference center, rather than being assigned to the overflow room, and enable us to find space at a good hotel.
I had a great time at ROCK last January, and I look forward to being there in January with you, so register now!
