Frequently Asked Questions

General Information

Will there be opportunities to connect with college students during the retreat?

Yes, the retreat’s relaxed schedule allows plenty of time to interact with Pensacola Christian College students.

Will there be sessions specifically for ladies?

Yes, we offer ladies’ workshop sessions during the retreat.

Do I need to stay in the workshop session I registered for?

No, while you’ll benefit from the content in your session, you’re welcome to attend any session of interest. Mix and match as your schedule allows for a more tailored experience.

Where should I stay during the retreat?

Campus House is located next to PCC and is convenient for retreat participants. We’ve also compiled a list of several off-campus hotels in the area, and many offer discounts for PCC guests. See Accommodations for details.

Meals and Food

When will the retreat menu be available?

Menus for adults and children will be available on the app before the event. Childcare menus will also be listed in the welcome email you’ll receive before the retreat.

Childcare and Teen Program

What activities are included during childcare? How is this different from the teen program?

Childcare activities are designed to engage and encourage children in an age-appropriate manner, and include coloring, singing, and recreation activities. Teens and those in grades 7–12, led by our Promotions team, enjoy meals together, join in campus activities, tour college classes, and hear encouraging messages from conference speakers.

How do I register my children for childcare or the teen program

When registering online, you will be prompted to register your children (newborn to 6th grade) for childcare at the same time. If you need to make changes after submitting your registration, please contact us. The teen program (7th to 12th grade) is offered to children of delegates at no additional cost. To register, contact us with your teen’s name, age, grade, date of birth, home address, email address, and any areas of interest for potential college majors.

May I bring my youth group?

The teen program is intended for children of registered delegates. If you’d like to bring an entire youth group to campus, please schedule a separate campus visit or register for another PCC event.

What should children and teens bring?

For practicality and comfort, children and teens should follow the recreational dress guidelines. If needed for infants and toddlers, please bring a bottle for each feeding, disposable diapers, and a change of clothes. Ages 3+ should bring a water bottle, and ages 5+ should also bring socks for bowling.

Guest Cards

How do Guest Cards work?

You’ll be issued a Guest Card at check–in, which allows tap access to meals and the campus. Money may also be added to the card account to make purchases on campus.

How do I add money to my Guest Card?

Cash or credit/debit cards may be used to add funds to Guest Card accounts at any of the add-value machines on campus. These machines are located in the Sports Center, Commons, the Academic Center, and each of the residence halls. Note that funds cannot be added to the card account until the card is issued at check–in.

Can cash or credit/debit cards be used for purchases instead of the Guest Card?

Yes. However, some locations may accept only Guest Cards.

How do I check the balance on my Guest Card account?

Guest Card account balances may be checked at any add–value machine on campus.

How should I care for my Guest Card?

Handle your Guest Card with the same care as a personal debit/credit card. Do not store your Guest Card with your cell phone, near a wireless charger, or around anything magnetic, as this may damage the electronic chip inside your card. Do not punch holes in the card or allow it to be bent, scratched, or left in extreme temperatures.

I lost my Guest Card. What should I do?

Immediately report lost Guest Cards to Card Services (AC 112) or the Information Desk. Your account balance is not protected until the card is officially reported missing and deactivated, so report it promptly. Your card account balance will carry over to your new card and will be available for use. If you have received a replacement Guest Card and later find your original, the original should be cut up and discarded immediately. Only the most recently issued Guest Card will be valid for accessing campus or purchasing.

What happens to the leftover funds on my Guest Card account at the end of the event?

Leftover funds may be refunded by taking your Guest Card to the Cashier’s Office (Administration Building, 1st floor) Monday–Friday between 7:45 a.m. and 4 p.m. Funds expire if left on the Guest Card account after the event and will be donated to PCC.

Technology and App Information

Will there be a mobile app again this year?

Yes, the Enrichment Retreat app will be back to help you navigate the event with ease.

Can I opt out of the app?

Yes, a printed program will be available for anyone who prefers a paper copy.

When can I access the app?

You’ll receive an email with login details about two weeks before the retreat.
