Matt Carter

Camp Pastor

Vertical Worship

Worship Leader

Matt Carter

Matt Carter serves as the pastor of preaching and vision at the Austin Stone Community Church in Austin, TX. Matt co-authored “For the City,” which explored what it would look like for a local church to be an advocate for the welfare of the city, as well as “The Real Win,” a book on biblical manhood, with NFL quarterback Colt McCoy. He holds an M.Div. from Southwestern Seminary and a D.Min. from Southeastern Seminary.

Vertical Worship

Based in Chicago, Vertical Worship is a collective of Worship Leaders and Songwriters from multiple campuses across Harvest Bible Chapel. Their songs include “Open Up The Heavens”, “Spirit of the Living God”, “Exalted Over All”, “Lamb of God”, Found in You” & “The Rock Won’t Move”.

The idea that worshiping Jesus Christ is best done not when we just sing about him or what he has done or what he will do in the future. The highest and best worship is modeled by what the angels do: sing to God about God. Vertical.

Their latest release is a studio album with the most popular songs from the history of Vertical Worship re-imagined with new and exciting arrangements for Worship Leaders and worship music enthusiasts.

Transportation

We recommend you have transportation available throughout your week at camp. While the hotel rooms we're using are in an area connected to the Convention Center, you may decide you'd like transportation to explore the area. If you plan to bring buses, we recommend you have a standard size vehicle to use for those late night runs to grab ice cream for your awesome adult leaders or any other unexpected situations that may arise.

Sleep

Rates listed on the Registration page is the cost per person based on max occupancy in each room. Rates increase by $10 if deposit is paid after January 31. Hotel rooms will sleep 4 or 6 depending on bedding. Rooms that include 2 queen size beds or 1 King + sleeper sofa - sleep 4 people. Rooms with 2 queen beds plus a sleeper sofa will sleep 6 people.

Eat

A meal plan will be available if you choose to add it to your registration! Pricing will be on the registration page once rates are available.

What meals are provided?

We have 3 options available to give your group more flexibility to enjoy the area! The 4 meal plan includes Dinners on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. The 7 meal plan includes Dinner on Monday; Lunch and dinner on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The 10 meal plan includes breakfast on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in addition to the meals in the 7 meal plan.

Can I order meals for just part of my group?

No. Meals will be ordered for everyone in your group excluding those with a status of C1 (see housing list instructions for status codes).

Where will the meals be served?

All meals will be served at the Convention Center.

What time will meals be served?

Lunch will be available at 11am, following the morning session. Dinner is at 6pm. Please arrive on time. There's no refund for missed meals.

If the Menu lists multiple entrees, can I choose my entree in advance?

No, selections will be served first come first serve.

What about food allergies?

These should be noted on your housing list 35 days prior to your event. This info will be passed along to those preparing food. Attendees with food allergies will be given a marked wristband allowing us to know who will need alternate meal options. Food allergies noted after the deadline may not be able to be accommodated due to food ordered in advance. Double check with everyone in your group!

Can I adjust my meal numbers within the 35 day out deadline?

We will not be able to decrease your numbers or switch your meal plan after the deadline, adding a couple people following this date should not be a problem unless there is significant increases in numbers.

Why is the deadline 35 days out?

We make financial commitments with both hotels and food vendors on this date. Large orders of food are placed based on the commitments we make.

Do I need meal tickets?

At check-in you will be given a wristband that must be worn in order to receive meals. Please assist your group in putting these wristbands on so they are not too tight or too loose.

Who should I contact if my question isn't listed?

Please contact us at SLinfo@studentlife.com or 1-800-718-2267
