Our Synods Youth Gathering page

The National ELCA Youth Gathering page

Registration rates are unchanged this cycle with the cost being $350.00 per person (if you register your congregation and pay the deposit between September 21 and November 20, 2020).

• The ELCA will be using a new online registration program this cycle. Information and training opportunities will be forthcoming this spring and summer.
• Hotel room costs should be budgeted to be around $159.00 + 11% tax* per room per night (*ELCA congregations will NOT be exempt from the taxes this cycle due to Minnesota tax laws).
• We are anticipating offering bus transportation again for this Gathering and I will share information as we begin to plan those details – preliminarily I anticipate reservations opening for synod buses on October 1 with buses filling on a first-come-first-served basis.

Volunteer Positions Needed:

• • Leaders (at least 1 adult male and 1 adult female)
