Genesis
March 24-26, 2023, at Haw River State Park
Genesis is a middle school event for young people grades 6-8 that this year will be held March 24-26, 2023, at Haw River State Park. The youth are encouraged to learn more and grow deeper in their faith through talks and the leadership of high school age youth. The theme for 2023 is creation care and stewardship of God’s creation. Join us for a youth-lead weekend with talks, music, small groups, friends and fun.
Dinner will be provided Friday evening. Participants stay overnight at Haw River State Park in Browns Summit in heated cabins with bunk beds. Sheets, blankets, pillows and towels are not provided.
For all diocesan youth events, a ratio of 1:7 adults to youth is enforced, and we follow all Safe Church policies.

The cost for participants to attend a weekend youth event is $120 ($66 for one-night events.) Those requesting financial assistance are expected to pay 2/3 of the total cost of the event ($80 or $44); 1/3 must be paid during registration as a deposit, and the balance must be mailed in with this scholarship request form by the closing date of registration. Should a family need additional assistance, it is recommended that the participant seek additional scholarship assistance from their parish, either through their Rector's Discretionary Fund or by sending a letter to your Vestry and/or other organizations within the parish.
