Registration Info
Every person (youth and adult) attending must pay the Program Fee AND each group purchases housing according to the group’s needs.
Meals are not included in program costs.
We want every student who wants to attend Quake to be able to come, regardless of financial circumstances. If cost is a barrier for your family, we encourage you to apply for a scholarship HERE. If paying for Quake would prevent a youth from attending, please apply. That’s exactly why this program exists. There are a limited number of scholarships per event and are awarded on a first come, first serve basis.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not register students who have applied for scholarships. We will notify the applicant and youth leader by email if their scholarship has been approved.

Musicians
100 White Flags
100 White Flags officially came together in June of 2006 as members Beth and Jeromy Dorsing, Zac Harder, and Paul Tietjen joined forces to make some music. Both Paul and Beth (Beth Gearhart, Girl With Guitar) have enjoyed successful solo careers, performing nationally, in both concert and weekend youth event venues.
The band started mostly out of Beth’s career as a solo artist featured as “Girl With Guitar”. Both Jeromy and Zac were a part of GWG on an off and on basis. Featuring many songs that have carried over from GWG, 100 White Flags is combining the talents of Beth and Paul as writers to breathe new life into some great songs as well as to add to their lengthy repertoire. Whether performing original music or leading worship, 100 White Flags has a unique sound that fuses progressive rock with hints of blues and folk influence.
While they all have a passion for music, their heart for ministry has remained at the forefront of their existence. All 4 members of the band have a background in youth ministry and hope to share their music and the light of Christ with the people they meet along the way.
