Next Steps - Hoots & Gatherings - Follow-up Sponsorship



New Journey #2 Dates
As many of you know, we originally had scheduled Journey #2 for February 15-17, 2008. However, due to low registration numbers on both the gals and guys sides, we were unable to hold it at that time. We promised that we would work on a new date for Journey #2, and we now have that date reserved.
Journey #2 will take place October 31 - Nov. 2, 2008. All the details remain the same.
Please note that our registration restrictions have changed, so be sure to read that information in the below article.

Important Registration Deadline Information for Sponsors
The most important part of sponsorship is knowing who is and who is not ready for a Chrysalis Flight or Journey. While we would all love to always have full weekends, that should not be our focus. You as a sponsor know best whether or not your candidate is ready for a Chrysalis weekend.
Part of your responsibilities is getting your registration and sponsor forms in by the posted deadline. Since the weekend dates are published months in advance, sponsors are expected to get their forms and fees in by the deadline at the latest. In the past, we have accepted registrations after the deadline has passed and even up to the start of the weekend. However, this causes an issue with the community knowing who is on the weekend and causing some to have a low amount of agape letters.
Beginning with Flight #22 (Nov. 7-9, 2008), we will only accept registrations that are received by the deadline - the Saturday prior to the Flight/Journey. This means that your forms/fees MUST be received, NOT POSTMARKED, by that Saturday. We ask that you get your registrations in well ahead of time if possible to avoid delays due to postal delivery. If you do not hear back regarding your registration(s) by the deadline date, you are advised to contact the community registrar, PJ Learn, at (309)827-8878.

Attendance Requirement
Those going through a Flight or Journey are not permitted to leave or arrive late to the camp unless there is an emergency situation. If there is a schedule conflict (school, work, etc.), this needs to be worked out ahead of time so that the participant can attend the whole weekend. Otherwise, the participant must re-register for a future Flight or Journey.

Ages of Participants
Chrysalis Flights are for those 15-18 and Chrysalis Journeys are for those 19-24. Exceptions to this are: Those over 18 & still in high school are to attend a Flight, and those under 19 but are in college are to attend a Journey.
