IMPORTANT: Midwinter Info!

Midwinter Quiz begins NEXT FRIDAY (January 20) so now is the time to sit down and make sure you fully understand what to expect for this fun weekend! Take a moment to read thru this handy-dandy QnA session.

WHAT IS MIDWINTER QUIZ? It is our annual mid-season quiz with ALL of the Quiz Teams in the Eastern District of the EFCA (We expect 6 Upper Division teams, and 4 Lower division teams). It one of only two times in the year that all teams quiz together.

WHEN IS IT? We leave Friday, January 20 after school and return home Sunday, January 22 in the early afternoon.

WHAT TIME DO WE LEAVE ON FRIDAY? About 3 PM from the Calvary Church parking lot. Please be prompt! If you'll be late, tell Jim by Wednesday's practice!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? There is an $18 quizzing fee which covers all quizzing materials for Midwinter, as well as lunch at both Midwinter and Districts (the season-ending quiz meet). You should also plan for 3 meals - Friday dinner, Saturday dinner, and Sunday lunch. About $20 should be sufficient. Quizzers may wish to bring extra spending money as well.

WHAT DOES EACH DAY ENTAIL?
- Friday will be traveling down to Lancaster, PA (the actual church is in Lititz, PA) and be introduced to our host families.
- Saturday, we will quiz in the morning, have lunch at the church, go to the Tabernacle Recreation after lunch, go to the Outlets, and have dinner at Fuddruckers before returning to host families.
- Sunday, we will attend church at LEFC, stop for lunch, and return to the church between 2 and 4 PM (depending on traffic).

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
1. Quiz Team shirt for Saturday (If you don't have one, wear a BLUE top, if you want one, Coach Mark will be selling them Wednesday)
2. Church clothes for Sunday (NO JEANS, NO SHORTS!)
3. Comfy traveling clothes for Sunday (You will be allowed to change after church)
4. Scripture portion (or full Bible) & any study aids you want
5. A duffle bag for all of your packing. No hard suitcases, please
6. A sleeping bag for sleeping at your host home (a pillow is fine too, but make sure it is packable)
7. If you bring a carry-on for the mini-bus, please make sure it can fit under your seat!
8. A winter coat. Dress warmly! The forecast is unknown at this point, but it is called Mid-Winter for a reason.
