5. Will my student ever be off by himself/herself?

The MIX schedule keeps students around their small groups and friends all day long. Our leaders are also always around to keep students connected as much as possible. Just remind your student of this as these young teens do get a chance to practice some freedom and responsibility at MIX.

Everyone is a part of a small group with two Leaders. Leaders will be responsible for guiding and taking care of 12 students through the week of MIX.

7. What does the registration cost cover?

The registration cost includes all accommodations, meals, travel, and conference fee. However, conference souvenir merchandise, extra snacks, and Adventure Zone activities (axe throwing, high ropes, paintball, archery, and zipline) are additional costs.

8. What type of transportation do you use?

We hire charter buses with professional drivers.

9. How do you determine dorm & bunk mate assignments?

The information collected as part of the registration process will be used to help determine bunk and dorm assignments. This is primarily based upon their Small Group, but may also include friend requests and school information. Our goal is for every student to bunk with a friend.

10. How will I receive communication once my student is registered?

Our primary source of communication will come via e-mail. You will receive a confirmation e-mail once your student has successfully registered for MIX. Once you join our MIX Parents group on Remind, that will also be a key source of information before, during, and after the event. Details for this will be in your confirmation email.

11. Where is the trip departing from?

We will be departing from Mount Pleasant Christian Church’s main parking lot by door 1. More details on how departure works will be available once registration is complete. This is the same location where pickup will happen after the event.

12. What grades will be attending my week of MIX?

MIX will be comprised of incoming 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. This means they are in 5th, 6th, and 7th grade when registering but will be in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade when school starts in the fall. Our ministry promotes students June 1, so all summer events are based on grades entering in the fall.
