Learn About Teen Track RegistrationWhat Is the Teen Track?
The Teen Track is designed for students ages 13–17 who want to grow as writers while fully participating in the Renewal Conference. Teens experience the same conference atmosphere, teaching, and community as adult attendees.
Teen Track students attend all general sessions and keynotes. During the four scheduled workshop sessions, teens participate in two Teen Track workshops created specifically for their age group and may choose two additional conference workshops from the general workshop offerings.
