At The Great Escape Lee it is our deep desire that you experience with us the
joy of seeing young people commit and recommit their lives to Jesus
Christ. It is our hope to do this as a family and YOU are an integral

campus has everything we need for a great week together - rolling green lawns,
state-of-the-art meeting space, a great student center with a food court, and
air-conditioned dorms. But even more important than the facilities, recreation,
and programming is the time The Great Escape allows you to spend with your
students. You do not have to worry about logistics and details – we take care
of all of that for you. It is truly our hope and prayer that this conference
will be an opportunity for God to impact the lives of hundreds of junior
highers!
