Dress Code As we build a Christian community based on mutual trust and respect, Montreat Conference Center seeks to respect the choices of individuals in expressing themselves while setting norms to establish an atmosphere conducive to faith development and personal growth. Throughout the Youth Conference, participants are discouraged from wearing clothing that:
- is too revealing (e.g., clothing that is too tight or transparent; clothing with extremely short hem-lines; shirts that reveal a bare midriff; visible undergarments).
- advertises alcohol, tobacco products or other substances abusive to the body.
- contains language or images that ridicule a person’s gender, sexuality, or geographic/ethnic origin.
Themes Every year the seniors pick outfit themes for each day. These are not mandatory, but add some fun! Participate in all or a few or none:
- Mismatched Monday
- Tropical Tuesday
- Western Wednesday
- Team Thursday
- Neon Friday
Communion This year communion will be served on Wednesday. Some participants like to dress up for worship services with communion, but this is definitely not required.
Return We will be back by noon on Saturday July 31st.
