Want to take your youth group to Cornerstone Festival, but don’t know where to begin?
Here is some basic information:
TICKETS - If you are bringing a youth group of ten or more, you qualify to get two free chaperone tickets. Just click the Tickets link above, and look for the Youth Group tickets.
CAMPING - If your youth group is planning to camp at Cornerstone, you can reserve a camping spot in the Reserved Group Camping Area. This is a shady area we’ve set aside for youth groups, so that no matter when you arrive, you can rest assured that you will have enough space for your group to camp together. It has easy access to the beach and lots of trees.
If you would like to take advantage of our Reserved Group Camping, when you order your tickets please check the box labeled Youth Group Reserved Campsite, or let us know when you place your order over the phone or by mail. You will receive a confirmation letter through the mail. If you have not received a confirmation letter by June 1st, please call our office at 773-989-2087, and speak to Melissa.
TEEN PROGRAM - Breakaway is our morning program for teens. We have a worship time followed by a time of sharing and inspiration, aimed specifically at getting teens to deepen their relationships with God and others. It is also a great place to connect with other groups from around the country. It starts at 10:30a.m.and runs until noon, in the Gallery tent.
VOLUNTEERING - If you would like to have your youth group volunteer in exchange for reduced-price tickets, please click on Information and follow the link that says "Volunteers." We couldn’t run the festival with out all of the help we get from groups and individuals who roll up their sleeves and help out!
YOUTH LEADERS' OASIS - New This Year! Otto Jensen and his wife, Laura, will be hosting our Youth Leader’s Oasis. It’s located in middle of the Reserved Group Camping area. If you have any questions about the festival, need help finding your campsite, or just want a cold soda, stop on by. We will have coffee, cold drinks, Programs, and a place to hang out and fellowship with other youth leaders from across the country and around the world! See you there!
