What to Expect
Here's just a few of the things you can expect to experience at Fall Getaway.
Three Sessions with Worship and Talks from our Fall Getaway Speaker Beth Guckenberger
On Friday night, Saturday morning, and Saturday night, we will have main sessions with worship led by the RealLife Band, talks about the Bible from Beth Guckenberger, stories of how God is at work in our lives, and small group (no worries, we will assign these when you arrive!) times where we will discuss what we are learning.
Time for Fun in Community
One of the most important parts of Fall Getaway is having time to connect with others from our Cru movement and build community. Whether you are getting to know your small group more, reconnecting with old friends, or making brand new friends, Fall Getaway will have time for you to connect in community. We will have formal chances to connect in small groups through discussion times during main sessions and through the annual Amazing Race competition. And we will have informal chances to connect by playing volleyball and other games in the gym, competing in the Ultimate Frisbee tournament on Saturday afternoon, playing board games in the game room, sipping on coffee from the coffee tent, boating on the lake and much more!
Time to Reflect and Connect with God
While we want Fall Getaway to be a fun and community filled weekend, we also want to provide a chance for you to slow down a bit and spend time connecting with God. On Saturday morning we will give you tools and space for a "quiet time" where you can read the bible and talk with God for a few minutes about your semester and what you are learning at Fall Getaway. We would also LOVE for our community to spend time throughout the weekend casually sharing about what we are learning and growing in.
The Details
Everything you need to know about Fall Getaway.
Where, When, and How Much?
- Fall Getaway is at Round Lake Christian Camp. It's located about an hour north of Columbus. If you're detail oriented, the address is 14 OH-3, Lakeville, OH 44638. Your small group leader can help to coordinate rides. If aren't in a small group and are in need of a ride, email Grant.
- Fall Getaway is October 18-19, 2024. Plan to arrive at the camp between 5 and 7 Friday (The earlier the better!). Dinner will be provided when you arrive, so no need to stop for it on the way. Then we will head out around 9pm Saturday.
- The cost is $75 which includes 4 meals (dinner, breakfast, lunch, dinner), snacks throughout the weekend, coffee, a place to sleep, and a Fall Getaway t-shirt if you sign up before our t-shirt deadline on Ocotber 8 at 11:59pm. Additionally, if its your first time at our Fall Getaway, use the promo code "FIRST" for 30% off. That makes the cost only $53 if it's your first Fall Getaway.

Beth has spoken at our Indianapolis Winter Conference several times, and her skill as a Bible teacher and story teller always draws us closer to Jesus.
