CIY MOVE

AT CIY INFO

PHONES

Students, you are welcome to bring your phone to CIY. We expect you to follow some normal "rules" with them -- for example, you should not be sitting around scrolling during the day, you don't need to have your phone out during any sessions/worship, etc.
IF you have a phone, please do the following 2 things:
1. Open a browser app to this page: app.ciy.com/move/mov26ky
2. Download the app "GroupMe" and join this group: https://groupme.com/join_group/115710077/aHKcI5f3
These 2 "apps" will be your go-to for the week. Take some time to look through the CIY web app now. Some of the details for what is below will be explained in the app, including your daily schedule.

TOURNAMENTS & THE ALTERNATIVE

CIY hosts a number of tournaments during the week -- dodgeball, volleyball, et al.
Check the CIY app schedule and link for tournament rules. You can also pre-sign up a team if you want to participate.
"The Alternative" is basically a big talent show. Think singing, music, gymnastics, stand-up comedy, stupid human tricks/talents, etc. It is basicallly an "open stage."
You must pre-register. I did not see it in the app, so we can find out when we get there how to sign up. If you are interested, prepare now and bring anything you may need for performing.

REC & EXTENDED DAY OUT

The EKU campus does have a pool we are able to use during free-time. Pack accordingly. Wear an appropriate swimming suit, or put a t-shirt on -- don't make me call you out.
College campuses usually have some basketball, tennis, maybe pickleball courts, etc. I do not know what they have or what we will be allowed to use, but you are welcome to bring any items you like for free time. (If we have room, we'll try to bring the 9 square.
Extended Rec day (Thursday) -- We are planning to spend our free time hiking on a trail with some waterfalls and cascades to swim in -- Bark Camp Trail. Plan to wear clothes that you can hike in and get wet/swim. Bring a small bag or backpack to hold a towel and your lunch.

ROOMMATES AT CIY

As of this moment (Monday evening), I do not know which dorm we will be in or what type of rooms we'll have. I expect it will be 2 people per room. I am supposed to get a form from CIY this week to fill out names for rooms. If you have a specific person you know you would like to room with please text me your 2 names (636-579-3056).
PLEASE! Let's be big kids about this, not everone gets what they want, thats just life. If you don't or can't be with the person you want, just deal with it. It's 4 nights, Satan is not in our group, you'll be just fine. Start out the trip with the right attitude!

MONEY

During the week, CIY will have a merch store (tshirts, hats, etc) for sale.
