It's almost Emerge Week! It's time to start gathering all your gear, making sure you have warm clothes, snacks, sleeping kit, snacks, Bible, notepad and more snacks. If you're bringing anything for the team, please use the sign up form linked below!
Here are some details you'll need to find Emerge and to find the Terrain-osaurus Rex campsite on the ranch property.
The address for Emerge Ranch is 2445 La Posta Rd., Campo, CA 91906.
This is approximately a 45-minute drive from Awaken El Cajon campus.
Check in opens at 11AM on Thursday, and the conference begins with dinner at 4:30PM.
If you will be arriving later than that for any reason, please text Scott to coordinate.
Here is a pin to the approximate location of our campsite within the ranch.
Here is an interactive map of the entire ranch.
Depending on wind conditions, we will have the team flag planted to make it easier to find.
Here is the approximate layout of our campsite. Let's put the campers and RVs around the perimeter, with tents inside.
Please be sure to leave a lot of room for community around the camp fire areas.
RVs can be dropped off early, but no camping is allowed until conference starts on Thursday.
Here is the current conference schedule. Times are subject to change.
