We’ve heard from a few of you and just wanted to clear up a few things!

1. If you have students entering college in the Fall of 2012, they are welcome at Glorybound as youth participants! If you have students who want to attend and have been in college a year or more, we invite them to check out our volunteer opportunities. They are also welcome as a participant if that is a better fit for them.

2. There is a free parking lot/garage that connects to the Marriott using a large glassed-in walkway. There is also a parking garage that you have to pay for that is a shorter walk to the front desk. It’s your choice as to which one you park at; however, we cannot guarantee that there will be space in either depending on the other events happening that weekend in the area.

3. We have been contacted by several churches asking if Glorybound has any scholarships available. While we don’t have scholarships in our budget, we have heard from some churches that are considering fundraising a little extra to help students go on this trip that may not go to their church. If you are interested in donating funds toward this cause, please email registrar@gloryboundtexas.org.

If you have any questions about Glorybound that aren’t addressed on the website, don’t hesitate to email info@gloryboundtexas.org!

We are working on a new, fresh way for YOU to build COMMUNITY with our Texas District youth and their friends! Packets will be sent out soon, but please send your requests for exhibit information to vendors@gloryboundtexas.org and we’ll get those packets to you just as soon as they are ready! Keep watching this site for further information and exhibitor applications.

Our latest registration email said that the early bird deadline is December 15, 2012. That should be corrected to the year 2011. Please accept our apologies!
