  • When and where will the event take place?
    The event will take place on Friday, August 30th, starting at 10:00 PM and continuing until Saturday, August 31st, at 4:00 AM. The venue is Kalahari Resort Indoor Water Park, which is renowned as the BEST Indoor Waterpark in the Northeast. 250 Kalahari Blvd, Pocono Manor, PA 18349
  • Who can attend The Splash Bash?
    The Splash Bash is open to all students entering grades 7 through 12. It's a fantastic opportunity for students from the Northeast to come together and celebrate the start of the new school year. All students and chaperones must register with a sponsored host church. If you're a student and you want to attend, bug your youth leaders or Pastor to register and become an approved church host. Chaperones must also be sponsored by their local host church and are required to submit their state background and child sexual abuse clearances before the event to the Splash Bash Registration Portal. Any adult without these clearances will not be allowed to enter the waterpark for The Splash Bash. This is an exclusive overnight buy-out event, so no regular resort attendees will be permitted in the waterpark facility during the event.
  • How Much is the Entrance Fee, and When is the Deadline to Register?
    The entrance fee is $55 per student participant if you register by August 9th. After this date, the fee increases to $65. The entrance fee for chaperones is $50 per chaperone and increases to $60 after August 9th. We encourage you to register and pay before the deadline to take advantage of the lower rate. Don't miss out – secure your spot today! Pastors & Youth Leaders, reach out here on the website if you're interested in large group rates (over 30 attendees).

This will direct you to the registration form where you can provide your necessary details and secure your spot for the event. If your church is handling the payment for the entire group, we've got you covered! After completing your registration and proceeding to the payment section, you'll notice a "Discount" button. Please enter your church's specific discount code in the designated field to apply the discount to your registration fees.
  • Is transportation provided to the event?
    Coordinating transportation is on your local host church. They will be responsible for loading up buses, vans, or cars and taking their students to meet us at the resort.
  • What should we bring to the event?
    Participants are advised to bring appropriate swimwear, towels, toiletries, and any personal items they may need for the overnight event. We suggest to pack comfortable clothing to change into before 4:00AM for the ride home and a bag for your wet suit! We also suggest bringing a way to pay for some extra snacks/drinks at the snack stand! Kalahari's "Cafe Mirage" will be open from 11:00PM - 2:30PM. There is a free water station at the center of the park Lockers are available as a cashless additional charge option for students. Rental fees vary based on locker size (Small $20, Medium $25, Large $30). Lockers are available inside the waterpark and are not available for pre- purchase. We are also a private event, with plenty of tables and chair areas available to store things. We highly suggest not bringing any high value or important items with you. We do receive free rental towels from Kalahari to pickup and return, as an option for those who do not want to bring their own. OH AND DON'T FORGET A SMILE AND ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT:)

  • Can I bring friends from outside of church?
    We believe that this event is an excellent opportunity for students, especially those who may not have attended church youth group events before, to experience the positive and welcoming atmosphere of our gathering. We strongly suggest using The Splash Bash as a first-time, easy entry event for un-churched friends to attend and connect with their local church youth group. This event serves as a platform to create meaningful relationships with peers from their local church youth group, as well as with students from other areas. It's an occasion for young individuals to come together, make new friends, and build lasting connections with others who share similar interests and values. Our aim is to foster a sense of community and inclusivity, welcoming students from various backgrounds to experience the joy and support that comes from being part of a church. By extending invitations to un-churched friends, we hope to create a warm and accepting environment where everyone can feel comfortable and engaged. So, whether you're from within the Philadelphia district or beyond, we encourage you to join us at The Splash Bash at Kalahari. Let's celebrate the start of the new school year together, build new friendships, and make this event an unforgettable experience for all!
