Genesis

March 24-26, 2023, at Holy Comforter, Burlington

REGISTER

Genesis is a middle school event during which young people grades 6-8 are encouraged to learn more and grow deeper in their faith through talks and the leadership of high school age youth. This year it will be held concurrently with Happening at Holy Comforter, Burlington. 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 the church. 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.

SCHOLARSHIPS

The cost is $84 for youth and $75 for adults. Those requesting financial assistance are expected to pay 2/3 of the total cost of the event; 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.
