Registration Now Open!

Registration Deadline: March 15, 2024


Join us "At the Well"!

Join your church family in beautiful Montreat, NC for a weekend of relaxation, fun, and spiritual growth. There will be programming for all ages (including nursery) as well as good intergenerational time, and of course lots of free time too to hike, explore Black Mountain, play games, or take a nap.

Together we will explore the story of Jesus's encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well to find a God, who meets us where we are, who knows us inside and out, and who offers us the lifegiving waters.

This year we have accommodations in both Assembly Inn and Winsborough, with single rooms and two-room suites available in each. See https://montreat.org/accommodations for information on each lodge. Please note that Winsborough does not have an elevator or air conditioning. (The average highs in Montreat that time of year are in the low 70s, and you will want to use the heat at night!) Suites are two rooms connected by a shared bathroom.

A limited number of rooms can accommodate a crib or air mattress to increase the max occupancy by one person. If you wish to request or be assigned a roommate, you may each pay half the cost of a single room. All meals on Saturday plus Sunday breakfast are included in the costs below. Scholarships are available.
