LODGING REGISTRATION for Alpha/Rooted Weekend - October 26-28, 2018

Advent Christian Village Conference Center

11057 Dowling Park Drive
Dowling Park, FL 32060

  • October 27, 2017
  • 7:00:00 PM

The Alpha Weekend and Rooted Weekend have the same registration since we will be at the same location, but note that these events will be held in different conference meeting areas and will have different schedules and themes.  Both retreats will have common meal times in the cafeteria.

Both the Alpha Weekend and Rooted Weekend will be fun opportunities to enjoy family activities, beautiful scenery, games, and laughter.  You will be encouraged to grow through engaging teaching, discussion of your questions and reflections with your group, and lots of time to build lasting friendships.

Advent Christian Village Conference Center is located in Dowling Park along the Suwannee River.  It has a beautiful campus with scenic walks, canoeing, fishing opportunities, sports fields, campfires, and a pool.   

There will be childcare provided for nursery-6th grade.  If you have a 7th grader or above, please arrange for them to stay with a family member or friend for the weekend.  Or if your child is 14 or over and they are interested in serving with the childcare team, they can be trained and earn money or service hours over the weekend.  We will send an email the week before the retreat on what to bring for your children. 

There are different rooms available at different price points.  The Village Lodge and Kite/Wackerlin Bunk Houses are closest to where Alpha will be meeting.  The Cottages are closest to where Rooted will be meeting.  It would be a great idea to coordinate with your Alpha or Rooted group to all be in the same cottage, bunkhouse, or at the lodge together.  Click here for a map of the the lodging locations (Kite and Wackerlin are part of the black buildings on the map listed as Camp Suwannee).

Below is a basic description with pictures of each lodging option.  If you are bringing children, most rooms have space to bring air mattresses which would allow you to sleep more people per room.  Once you have decided on what you want, please select from your room preference at the drop down menu at the bottom of this registration (first come, first serve).  Also note that the below cost is for lodging.  CLICK HERE for the separate registration that covers food costs.
