Spur Weekend 2024

Spur Weekend is our in-town winter retreat for students in grades 6–12 hosted by Watermark Fort Worth and host homes of Watermark Fort Worth members. The worship services and activities at Spur Weekend are designed for students to make memories, build friendships, and behold Jesus.

Frequently Asked Questions for Spur Weekend 2024

Will students be staying in host homes overnight? Yes. Small Groups will spend the two nights in the home of one of our Watermark Fort Worth members. Host homes families are known, and background checked. If you are interested in being a host home, email [email protected] for details.

When does registration close? (Registration will open on January 2) Registration closes at midnight on Wednesday, February 7, 2023, at 11:59 PM. But you won’t you have to worry about that because you’ll already be registered early, of course!

Is there a cell phone policy? Small Group leaders will monitor cell phone usage and access during Spur Weekend at their discretion. The goal is to allow for a focused time for students. If you need regular communication with your student during Spur Weekend, please let your Small Group leaders know.

Will there be a price adjustment if a student can only make it to part of the planned schedule of events for Spur Weekend? We get requests for partial payment every year and our policy has always been to keep one “ticket price” and allow kids to come and go. With many participants, it is extremely difficult to accommodate price adjustments for every unique scenario. Students who wish to participate in any part of Spur are required to register as if you were participating in the entire weekend. We understand there are unavoidable conflicts and students are allowed to come and go as long as they communicate and coordinate their schedule with the adult leader(s) in charge of their Small Group.

What if our family can’t afford the registration price? If finances are an issue, we will work with families to pay over time. We also encourage them to share the need with their Small Group, Community Group, or extended family. Please let us know if finances are an issue.

What if I still have questions? If you have a question, reach out to Lauren at [email protected].
