Wristbands | Chaperone Responsibilities

WRISTBANDS

Every participant will be given a wristband upon registration. This wristband is to be worn at all times, as it marks who is with our conference. Each group will have the opportunity for “premiere” seating throughout the weekend. Please check at Registration to determine which colored wristband receives which seating assignment at the designated time. You will not be admitted into the auditorium or receive your meals without a wristband. If you lose or damage your wristband, please bring a chaperone with you to the Registration Table found in the Contra Costa Patio.


CHAPERONE RESPONSIBILITIES

Please ensure the safety and participation of your teenagers throughout this weekend. You are the first point of contact for your teenagers, and we are here to help you in becoming the best minister to them. More details of the group leaders responsibilities will be emailed a few weeks before the conference and discussed at the Group Leader Meeting on Friday of the conference.

Chapel

The Chapel is located in Contra Costa/Salon 2 which is to the left of the main entrance of the main auditorium. We invite you to visit the Blessed Sacrament Chapel during its open hours to reflect, rest, and be restored. We ask all to refrain from talking in the chapel.

Session Entry

All of the Sessions, Liturgies and Keynotes will take place in the Marriott Ballroom. Seating for sessions will be selected by the color of the groups’ wristbands. We do our very best to accommodate everyone’s requests so please comply lovingly and accordingly.
