Host Rally FAQs

How will I receive my travel plans to Host Rally?

You as the Host, or your Community’s Host, will be emailed a document detailing your group’s arrival information. This will include hotel location, rooming breakdown, and other arrival details. If you are flying to Host Rally, you will directly receive an email from our partners at Direct Travel with your flight confirmation. This one-page document will also contain airport shuttle information for your group.

Do I need to know anything specific about arriving at Host Rally if I am driving?

Upon arrival to the hotel, please get a parking ticket from the front gate and bring it inside to be validated at the hotel check in desk. You will then be given a parking pass for the event.

I am a flyer for Host Rally and just landed in Atlanta, what do I need to do next?

Once you get to baggage claim, be on the lookout for our WinShape Camps volunteers. They will be identifiable by their WSC t-shirt and/or signs. From there, they will instruct you towards the shuttle area to take you to the hotel.

Where do I check in to my hotel room once I have gotten to the Renaissance Waverly? 

Once you arrive, you will check in and get your room key at the hotel front desk. Then, feel free to go to your hotel room and drop off your luggage. After this, please head to the Exhibition Center for Conference Check In.

What if my room is not ready when I arrive? 

WinShape will store your luggage for you! Please make your way up to Conference Check In and someone from our team will assist in holding your bags in the meantime.

What is the mileage reimbursement process? 

At Conference Check In, you will be asked to complete out a form via the QR code on the back of your nametag. This form will initiate the process for our Operations Team.

What if I forgot something or have a question during the event? 

Please stop by our Checkpoint table to be assisted by one of our volunteers. This will be in the Exhibition Center.

Please reach out to your Host Development Rep! Or feel free to bring your questions to our next Town Hall!

Host Rally Workshops

Each year at Host Rally, our team curates Workshop spaces that dive into specific topics related to camp. From creating scholarships in WIN and marketing camp in your community to empowering Volunteers and working alongside your Chick-fil-A, these Workshop topics are designed to unpack strategies that our team has found to be successful in our partnering communities. Not only are these spaces informative in nature, but our hope is that they are also collaborative! Here you'll be able to meet other hosts, ask questions, share ideas, and learn how you and your team can take your pre-camp preparation to the next level.

Host Rally Workshops

2024 Session Speaker Lineup

“ Wow. Host Rally was just what I needed. It really met me and my team where we are and gave us some practical insights into relational connections and the current trauma many are experiencing, both adult and child alike. We know connection is important, but to give clinical wisdom to the spiritual elements of connection is something that will help me be a more effective shepherd and leader. ”
Camp Host
“ After Host Rally, I am not nearly as nervous to host as I was before. Everything was well thought out, and I am especially grateful for the "little extras" that filled my cup. The speakers were AMAZING, and I really learned a lot. ”
Camp Host
“ Host Rally was really cool because WinShape did everything so well that it was easy for us to focus on learning and dreaming for our future week of camp and our ministries in general. ”
Camp Host
“ This is my first year helping host camp and I left Host Rally feeling energetic, ready to start advertising, and getting teams ready. I loved hearing from other hosts on what has worked for them. We specifically left being hopeful that we can engage more of our community. ”
Camp Host
