Can I register as an individual?

We only accept individual registrations for our Sr. High event, and we will connect all individual retreaters with a current Briercrest student and other individual retreaters to hang out with over the weekend. Please note that all individual registrations must pay in full at time of registration for it to be processed.

What does the Youth Quake registration cost include?

Youth Quake is an all-inclusive weekend. Your registration includes meals, concerts, accommodations, and all events for the weekend. Everything except transportation to Youth Quake, any merch you would like to purchase, and extra snacks or drinks throughout the weekend.

Is there a local rate available?

Yes! If you are local, Moose Jaw, Caron, Mortlach, Caronport, etc. and would prefer to stay at home you are eligible for our Base Event Rate. This rate does not include dorm accommodation or meals. Retreaters paying this rate will only participate in the option session activities, main sessions and concerts. These students will receive an event bracelet to reflect this status and must wear it during the event.

Please call the Youth Quake office to apply for this rate.

Are refunds available?

Yes, but for a limited time and not for pre-purchased registrations (see below). All refund requests will be charged a $50.00 administration fee. Please submit refund requests to youthquake@briercrest.ca.

Sr. High -Youth Quake does not administer refunds after Friday, April 19, 2024 12:00 PM for this retreat.

Jr. High - Youth Quake does not administer refunds after Friday, May 3, 2024 12:00 PM for this retreat.

If you find yourself facing extenuating circumstances and need to request a refund after registration closing day (listed above) please contact our office to obtain a Refund Request Form. These requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

GROUP SEARCH

How many leaders do I need to bring?

We recommend a ratio of 7:1 of students to leaders for the weekend. You will know what your group requires for a retreat weekend away. We require a group leader in each dorm (male and female) they have students staying.

Examples:
- If you have 5 male students and 7 female students you are required to have 1 female leader and 1 male leader.
- If you have 8 female students you are required to have a minimum of 1 female leader.

Reminder: Our YQ volunteers do not stay in the dorms with you and your group so all dorm supervision is the responsibility of the group leaders.

Is there a discount for youth leaders?

This year the first male and female youth leaders get a free registration. Additional youth workers and volunteers will pay the rate at time of registration.

How do I know how much I owe?

The amount you pay depends on the time of registration. We have 2 rates, the early bird (December 15th - February 15th) and the regular rate (February 15th - Registration close).

If you do not pay in full but you filled out the registration form during the early bird rate you will pay the regular rate.

Do you have group payment options?

Yes! When you set up your group dashboard you will have two options for payment and whichever you select will be the same for both retreats:

1. All group members pay individually when they register.

2. Youth workers select ‘group payment’ and will pay for all registrations once everyone has signed up at a later date.

Please ensure that you communicate to your students the method you selected for your group. Remember that your registration fee will depend on the date of payment, not the date of registration. We cannot process registrations until we receive payment.

What does it mean to pre-purchase registrations?

Youth leaders may pre-purchase registrations for their group during the Early Bird rate to get the best price for their students. Pre-purchased registrations must be paid in full and are not eligible for refunds.

You will pay for a set amount of YQ registrations, pay in full, and assign registrations to members of your group as your students confirm.

Can I use my group ID from last year?
Yes, we encourage you NOT to create a new group if you have attended Youth Quake in the past. If you remember your group ID or username you will be able to reset your password and reactivate your group.

Please note that you will not be able to active your group until December 15th.

If you do not remember your group ID, username, and password please call the Youth Quake office.
