FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING LINK TO REGISTRATION: Mountain Madness Registration
What is it: Mountain Madness is an Archdiocese of Denver M.S. conference. This conference is designed to help Middle School age teens have an encounter with God. It is a high energy weekend. Teens will hear talks from dynamic Catholic speakers. There will be Adoration, Confession, Mass, tons of teens, and a gift shop.
Speaker: Popple! Kyle graduated from Purdue University and began working as a full-time youth minister. Dan came in as a student and started volunteering with the youth program. The two of them started playing music at youth functions and eventually branched out to coffee shops. They also said, “No” to drugs; a tip they got from their DARE officers. Just when things started getting good, Kyle left for a year to do mission work in Honduras, play with donkeys, and discern his vocation. Meanwhile, Dan was working on his degree and rowing boats. Now Popple travels around the country playing for youth groups, camps, retreats, rallies, adoration events, backyard parties and anywhere else that their ministry is needed. At times it is a ministry of joy, at other times a ministry of prayer and yet others a ministry of faith sharing. Either way, it is always fun.
Where is it: It is done all at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, CO. Teens will be housed in the Longhouse’s. Each room will have a bathroom and 2 bunkbeds. Teens will be roomed with Ave Maria Teens, also separated by Gender rooms too. The YMCA also has an indoor gym and swimming pool that will be available during free time.
