Pocketguide
Pocket Guide (9.3MB PDF)
When you arrive at CHIC, you’ll receive a bunch of items that will be with you all week, such as your meal bracelet and what I like to call your necklace-wallet-name-badge-thingy. One of the items that should fit nicely into one of the many pouches of the necklace-wallet-name-badge-thingy is the handy Pocketguide, your planning tool and tour guide throughout the week. Take a look now, but don’t forget you’ll be getting one of your own in all its booklety goodness in less than a week.

Lunch: Presidential Courtyard and University Center Plaza – 12:30P.M.–2P.M.
Dinner: Your Assigned Cafeteria – 5P.M.–7P.M.
Meals are provided as part of your registration from Sunday dinner through Thursday dinner, for a total of 13 meals.
Your cafeteria will be assigned based on your housing location and will be designated by a specific color-coded meal band given to you when you arrive. There are also numerous locations throughout the campus and meeting venues where snacks can be purchased at your own expense.
Picnic-style lunches can be picked up at either of two outdoor locations—Presidential Courtyard and the University Center Plaza. You decide where you’d like to eat each day.
Basecamps
Sun, 7P.M.
Mon–Thu, 9:30A.M.–12:30P.M.
Please refer to your name tag for your Basecamp assignment and to your Basecamp schedule given to you at check-in to know where you should go.
Each morning of CHIC you will meet your Basecamp, two to four youth groups that are about the same size from different parts of the country. This experience will always include two key elements.
One of the elements will be an interactive learning experience highlighting how we relate to God, Self, Others, and the World. After each interactive learning experience, students will have a time to debrief.
The other key element of Basecamps is Focus Groups. Basecamps will travel together to pre-assigned Focus Groups each day. This will allow for students to hear and discuss matters that relate to their specific learning experience that day.
Self* – Experience will be in Ballroom ABC at the Knoxville Convention Center
World – Experience will be in Cox Auditorium, Alumni Memorial
Others – Experience will be in Clarence Brown Theater, Outdoor Amphitheater
God – Experience will be in Music Auditorium
* On the day you are scheduled for the “Self” experience, you may catch a bus shuttle near the breakfast cafeteria to the Knoxville Convention Center. It is roughly a 1.2 mile (1.9 km) walk from “The Hub” to the KCC, though your cafeteria may be considerably closer.
Mainstage
Thompson-Boling Arena – Sun–Thu, 8:30P.M.
Erwin McManus – Los Angeles, CA
Author, speaker, activist, filmmaker and innovator who specializes in the field of developing and unleashing personal and organizational creativity, uniqueness, innovation and diversity. In other words, he gets bored really easily.
Shane Claiborne – Philadelphia, PA
Helped start the Potter Street Community and is a prominent activist for nonviolence and the redistribution of resources to the poor. And he makes his own clothes.
Steven Furtick – Charlotte, NC
He’s married, has two kids, and leads one of the fastest growing churches in America. And he’s still in his 20’s.
Judy Peterson – Chicago, IL
Went to grad school and wanted to do something different for her internship—so she walked 4,200 miles across the country, from Seattle to Miami. And all that with only $400 to her name.
Efrem Smith – Minneapolis, MN
Pastor. Radio host. Author. Leader. Husband. Father. Friend.
Small Groups
SEE BELOW – Sun–Thu, After Mainstage
Small Groups are the place where we break down the hugeness of CHIC into a more personal setting. Small Groups start right after Mainstage and provide a safe environment for students to process their experience at CHIC. There are two options for this time. The first option will be to return to your dorm area and break into small, gender specific groups and process in a dorm room or in the hallway or study lounge areas of your dorm. The second option is to meet with your entire group outside, anywhere that is no more than 100 yards from your dorm. Check with your counselor for your meeting location.
Regardless of your meeting location, you must be back in your dorms by midnight and lights out by 12:30A.M.
Counselor Meetings
Alumni Memorial, Cox Auditorium – Mon–Thu, 8A.M.–9A.M.
