FAQ
-
1. Who is The EDGE for? What ages can attend The EDGE?
The EDGE is designed for both students and youth leaders/workers. While there are no official age limits to attend The EDGE, we do discourage churches from bringing young children (as they can sometimes be a distraction to others in worship services). We consider “youth” to be 6th grade through 12th grade students. If your group needs to bring a small child, please call us in advance. You will have to pay full price for all children attending. Please contact us for further information.

2. What does it mean that deposits are “transferable” but not “refundable”?
The best way to understand this is to think about your deposits having no face or no name. If you send us 30 deposits, then you have reserved space for 30 people. It does not matter who those thirty people are. If Susie drops and Mark adds, you still have 30 and you don’t owe us any more deposit money. Mark simply takes Susie’s spot. However, if Susie drops and you do not replace her, you DO NOT get that deposit money back. It is non-refundable.

3. Have you ever considered having assigned seating in Pigeon Forge?
We have. But assigned seating is one of those gray areas that pleases some but not others. When dealing with large crowds we have found that you can never make everyone happy. But we want to try! So the assigned seating was considered, but with only four sessions it was next to impossible to get every group a “prime” seat in a worship service. So for now we have decided not to assign seats. There really are no bad seats in the room; only seats that are not in the front.

4. Is there a continental breakfast at the hotel in Pigeon Forge?
The Grand Hotel does not offer a free continental breakfast. However, you do have several inexpensive alternatives. First, the hotel restaurant offers a very reasonably priced breakfast each day. Second, each hotel room at The Grand has a refrigerator and a microwave. Finally, there are several restaurants around the hotel that offer breakfast including fast food, pancake houses, Shoney’s, and donuts.

5. Can I add students after I have registered?
Certainly. You may add students to the conference as long as the conference is not full and registration is not closed. After the final payment date please contact us about anyone you may need to add and we will do our best to accommodate.

6. Can I bring my children to the conference?
We would love to have your children at the conference and make the opportunity for more adult chaperones to attend. However, every child takes up a space in the hotel and in the worship center. So, we have 2 options. Either make a rule that says no children. Or, charge full price for each child in attendance. We don’t really want to do either. So we ask that you consider our quandary and contact us if you must bring the little ones.

7. Can I get a room for my bus driver?
Sure. Simply give us a call and we will give you a rate for your bus driver’s room and we will set that up for you. You pay that fee as a part of your group’s registration.
