Gateway's youth in grades 7-12 are invited to join us for a day of fun, fellowship, and lots of roller coasters as we go to Six Flags Over Georgia on Saturday, November 8!
Advanced registration is required, see below for details!
Why go to Six Flags?
Spending time together as a group is the goal for this trip. We want to spend quality time asking and answering questions, getting to know one another better, sharing favorite music and games on the ride, and simply sharing life and building trust along the way. We also want to develop more small group connections. Spending a day in a small group, considering each other’s interests and needs, waiting in cars and ride lines, and facing fears together can all build a spirit of unity and camaraderie that will endure long after the fun has faded. While we recognize many families are busy this fall, we hope those who can attend will come expecting to connect, engage, and care for one another.
The Details
When: Saturday, November 8
Where: Meet at Gateway at 6:30 a.m. We will depart at 6:45 a.m. in order to arrive at Six Flags by the time it opens at 11 a.m. (Eastern time). We plan to leave the park around 6:00 p.m. and arrive back around 8:30 p.m. Youth should bring a simple meal that they can eat in the car on the way to Six Flags. We plan to stop for a fast-food dinner on the way back to Montgomery.
Drivers/adult chaperones: Tom Haberkorn, Mandy Moody, Brad Mooney, Will O'Kelley, Jessica Paulk, Mike Presley, and Grady Smith
Cost: The admission to Six Flags for youth group members and adult chaperones will be purchased and covered by Gateway.
NOTE - Parents who are not chaperones but who wish to go on this trip will need to purchase their own tickets at regular price directly from Six Flags. Also, children of chaperones who are not in the youth group may attend but will need to purchase their own tickets as well. Tickets for these individuals may be purchased in advance on the Six Flags web site or at the gate. We encourage you to purchase those tickets ahead of time as tickets at the gate cost more than those purchased online and require waiting in line.
In addition, everyone will need to bring extra funds for their own food, drinks, and souvenirs at Six Flags, and for a fast-food dinner on the way back to Montgomery.
