Middle School Conference
July 10-15, 2017
18 | Green Lake Conference Center
69th annual
Green Lake Christian
Writers’ Conference
August 6-10, 2017
The Great Escape is the oldest continually
running middle school conference in America.
The success and power of The Great Escape
is in their team model and philosophy.
Founded on the principle that God connects
with kids at summer camp through their
counselors, The Great Escape is set up to
maximize the time spent between students
and their leaders.
The Great Escape is run by a team of
professional youth pastors and youth workers.
Using great teaching, powerful praise music
and intimate small group times, the focus of
the week is on reaching everyone with the
message that regardless of how they view
themselves, they are loved by Jesus Christ.
The Great Escape is also packed with fun
recreation, like a shaving cream war!
