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!
