Our COVID Mitigation Procedures for the "Shaping Our Story" Conference
The Conference Planning Team is working closely with the staff at Montreat Conference Center to put together COVID mitigation procedures to keep us as safe as possible when we meet in person in November. Please check out the procedures that are currently in place for the event.
Workshop Sessions at the "Shaping Our Story Conference"
We are excited about the workshops that will be offered during the event. Please go to the conference website to learn about these 42 sessions and the workshop presenters. Registered participants will have the opportunity to make their session selections in October.
Lodging at the "Shaping Our Story" Conference
Due to the demand for single-occupancy rooms with a private bath, we are now offering accommodations at William Black Lodge. This retreat center is located just up the hill behind Montreat's Assembly Inn. We now have single rooms with a private bath, shared bath, and a hall bath. Please see the conference website for details on these lodging options.
 Our Monthly PCCCA Zoom Call Today at 11:00am Eastern
PCCCA's monthly Zoom call happens every third Thursday. Today at 11:00am EDT, we will be discussing programming at our camps and conference centers. It will be your opportunity to check in and share how summer camp went at your site. We will also have a time to share what kind of programming we have planned for the fall (and any changes we are making in light of the spread of the COVID variant). Please join us for a time of fellowship and sharing among your fellow camp and conference leaders. You can learn more about this call (and get the link) on the PCCCA website.
Call for Writers for the New Curriculum for Senior High Leadership Programs

If you are interested in learning more about being a writer, please contact Joel Winchip before September 30.
