Fun in the Son-Padre Island, Texas
The setting for Fun in the Son Padre could not get any better. At FITS Padre you will be at the Travelodge or somewhere similar, which is located on the Gulf of Mexico in South Padre Island. You will spend your afternoons enjoying the surf and sand of the beach. Your morning and evenings will be spent at the South Padre Island Convention center, within walking distance from both hotels, hearing from speakers and worship bands that will challenge and inspire them. There is one afternoon where you can take your group and explore South Padre Island or even venture over the border to Mexico. The hope is that this will be a week of fun where students can hear the Gospel, grow in their faith and experience the larger body of Christ.
Daily schedule
- Mornings include time for quiet times, breakfast, the morning session and seminars.
- After lunch you will have free time to relax and enjoy the beach. A variety of recreation activities and tournaments will be organized for each afternoon.
- The evening schedule will include dinner, a counselor meeting, the evening session, family time (with your church family), and finally lights out.
Food
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all provided as part of your conference cost. We will feed you beginning with dinner on Sunday night and your last meal will be dinner on Thursday. Usually one night during the week we allow time for the family groups to go out to dinner somewhere on the island together (you will be responsible for costs). Students are also responsible for costs of meals "on the road".
Things to Bring
In addition to cool, casual clothes, there are a few specifics things you’ll want to have with you:
- Everyone in your group should bring towels for both bathing and the beach (these will not be provided by the hotels).
- You’ll need all your beach gear: sandals, modest swim suits, sunscreen, frisbees, etc.
- Don’t forget a Bible, pen, and notebook.
- You might want a sweatshirt or long-sleeve shirt for the big group meetings as the meeting rooms are usually cold!
- Come prepared for afternoon recreation with tennis shoes, tennis rackets and balls, footballs, etc.
- Important: Please make sure your group has one sleeping bag and extra pillow for every fifth person in the group.
- Finally, you will want to bring spending money for snacks, Fun in the Son t-shirts, CDs, books and other items available to purchase.
