What to Expect

program

Program Connection gathers program professionals from camp and conference ministries to share good ideas and learn from one another’s experience. Whether you’re new at this or have been doing it for a long time, we all have something to share!

The group gathered will crowd source topics for discussion and brainstorming at the beginning of the conference, and take turns facilitating conversations throughout the week.

Time for rest, recreation, and reflection will be part of the program, too. We’ll post specific details as they develop!

meals

Meals are served buffet style, with plenty of options. We can accommodate many food allergies and sensitivities with advance notice, such as vegetarian/vegan, gluten free, and more. Breakfast includes a breakfast bar with cereals, yogurt, fresh fruit, and more in addition to the hot meal on the buffet line. Lunch and dinner include a salad bar.

lodging

Program Connection participants will stay in Hubler Lodge, Massanetta’s hotel-style accommodations. Each room has two queen beds and a private bathroom. The building has an elevator, common space, and access to ice and refrigeration.

TRAVEL

Massanetta Springs is located in Harrisonburg, VA, just a few minutes from I-81. The best airport option is Charlottesville (CHO), but we anticipate some friends traveling in from Richmond (RIC) and might be able to coordinate with Washington, D.C. arrivals (IAD).
