Frequency

A weekend retreat for 7th and 8th graders

Join us for Frequency
Frequency

Life moves fast for all of us—especially for middle schoolers. It can be hard for students to find the space to process all that’s happening in and around them. Frequency is our weekend camp designed to help 7th and 8th graders tune in to what’s most important.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Transit camp if we didn’t also have a ton of fun planned! There will be plenty of wild games, outdoor activities, and opportunities to make lasting memories with their small group.

When:
September 29–October 1, 2023

Where:
Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center, Covington, GA
(Drop off at Woodstock City Church)

Registration:
Early Bird Price: $315 through September 4
Regular Price: $325 through September 18
Late Add Price: $355 through September 29

We are nervous about this being our student’s first weekend away. What safety precautions have you implemented?

We completely understand. Each year, hundreds of parents trust us with their students for their first weekend away. We take their safety very seriously and keep a low adult leader to student ratio. Dozens of staff members are also onsite the entire weekend.

Will there be a medical professional at camp?

Yes. We will have two registered nurses at camp at all times. If your student needs to bring medication, you can leave it with a nurse at check-in to dispense at camp.

Are there any additional forms required for this event?

All liability waivers and media releases are included within the event registration. If you would like to read the facility Waiver of Liability and Indemnification referenced in registration, you can find that here.

What if my student has a food allergy?

Please let us know when you register, and we will be happy to accommodate your student. Alternative meals are often available.

When is drop-off (check-in) and pickup for the weekend?

Check-in is at Woodstock City Church on Friday, September 29, at 6:00 p.m., and pick up is at Woodstock City Church on Sunday, October 1, at 1:15 p.m. If your student is registered, you will receive more details closer to camp time.

What if my student doesn’t know many other students?

Then Frequency is the perfect place to be! Students will form healthy relationships in their small groups that they will build on for the next several years.

What if my student has a conflicting event or game?

Your student won’t regret prioritizing Frequency over an outside activity. While we would love for your student to attend the entire retreat, if that isn’t possible, you may pick them up early.

How do I get more details?

If you have specific questions not answered here, you can email our staff at middleschool@woodstockcity.org.

Can you offer financial support?

Yes. We have scholarships available to families that need assistance. We never want a student to miss an event because of financial issues. You can find an application here.

How do you determine the cost per student for your events?

Many factors play into this decision, and parents are often surprised to learn that our events do not pay for themselves. There is a portion of our yearly Transit budget that supplements the event cost. Some cost factors include: facility rental, transportation, camp production, medical professionals, security, lifeguards, and much more. Also, since we ask so much of our small group leaders, we use the cost of registration to cover their expenses for attending. So, when you pay for your student to attend one of our events, a portion of that money is used to cover the cost of their small group leader.
