Hotel Information
Hotel information will be added to this page once the Summit location is finalized.
AIR AND GROUND TRANSPORTATION
You are responsible for your flights into Phoenix and your rides to and from the airport to the summit location. We recommend connecting with your community group to find others who will arrive at the same time as you.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport
Please fly in by noon on Monday, February 2.
Please fly out Thursday morning, February 5, at the earliest.
Feel free to rent a car and maybe consider sharing with one of your new cohort members. For those who use ride-sharing services, we will do our best to arrange rides to and from the approved hotel and the summit location.
Ground transportation to and from the airport are your responsibility.
WEATHER
Arizona is generally brisk and beautiful in February. We recommend layers because the weather can be sunny or chilly. Please bring a sweater or jacket for the evenings, as meals will be served outside with heaters. The current forecast is mostly sunny with the warmest temperatures in the day (3 PM - 6 PM) between 70 - 75! But, watch for that 10 o’clock drop as it can get really chilly when the sun goes down!
WHAT TO WEAR
Jeans, comfortable and casual clothes are all great. You should bring a sweater or wrap into the meeting spaces. We tend to keep the temperature cool, and dinners will be served outside with heaters. It is also important to plan appropriately for the photoshoot session!
MEALS
We provide dinner on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We also provide lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday. Breakfast is on your own. However, we do have coffee available, as well as yogurt, protein bars, and pastries for you. Allergies were covered on your “Preparing for You Form.” If you have not informed us, please do so promptly, as the team is preparing now.
Gluten-free options are available at all of our meals!
NOTE: Once the menu is finalized, it will be available on the website. This will occur close to the date of the Summit.
SNACKS
All throughout Summit, you will enjoy an abundance of snacks, coffee, and drinks. While we cannot guarantee that everything on your snack list from your “Preparing for You Form” will be available, our teams strive to accommodate as many items as possible from your list.
PHOTO SHOOT
As a gift to you, we hired a professional photographer to provide you with a headshot for ministry use. Please plan to arrive camera-ready on the morning of Tuesday, February 3.
It is recommended to wear solids or avoid something too busy.
