Host Rally Update | Registration is OPEN 🎉

Host Rally Registration is officially open and we cannot wait to see you and your Leadership Team there! Note that your community's name will not be listed in the Host Rally registration selection until you have signed your contract.

As a reminder, each attending team member will need to register for the event (so if you are the main host, be sure to send the registration link to your Leadership Team!). If you have a Chick-fil-A Rep attending the conference with you, make sure they register for Host Rally under the "Chick-fil-A" dropdown option as they register.

Upon registering, you'll be required to pre-select your Host Rally Workshop preferences. You can access our Workshop descriptions both through the registration link and also on the Host Rally webpage found here on the Host Hub.

Access the Host Rally registration link, our Workshop descriptions, the Host Rally Conference Packet, and the Host Rally webpage by clicking the corresponding links below!

Request the Road Crew

Request the Road Crew

Road Crew is excited to visit to your location in Spring 2024!

If you're unfamiliar with Road Crew, this is a highly-trained team of four WinShape summer staffers who bring fun games and equipment to your community and raise awareness for camp! In an effort to streamline our systems to better serve you, we've made some updates to expectations and process that we want you to be aware of for Spring 2024.

We've seen the most success through Road Crew events where our WinShape staff provide the entertainment for the event, parents and families in the community receive updates and news about the event prior to its start, and hosts are able to be present for the duration of the event. To provide a consistent experience in each community, we ask that you assist the Road Crew by following this model as well!

You will also be able to schedule an individual conversation with our Road Crew Coordinator, Josh Hines, who will answer questions and provide guidance so that you can maximize your Road Crew experience.

Registration for Spring Road Crew will open on November 14th, 2023.

Ministry Safe Resource Available

Ministry Safe Resource Available

As stated in your contract, all registered Volunteers must be Background Checked prior to the start of camp.

If your church does not already have a method for this, we want to remind you of our partnership with Ministry Safe, an organization that is dedicated to protecting the safety of children and preventing abuse through effective training.

To learn more about Ministry Safe and to potentially use their programming for your own Safety Training, click the link below.
