Who can participate?

The ICF Experience is a program for ICF churches that have started in the last two years or are starting this year. Invited are the ICF Pastors with their Key Leaders.

Additionally, existing ICFs can send new key leaders to the ICF Experience.

Can I bring my kid(s)?

Unfortunately the ICF Experience program isn’t suitable for children.

Do you have a baby under 8 months old that needs to be breastfed and therefore needs to come along? We will have a separate room with a stream of the teaching sessions available for you. Other program elements aren’t suited for bringing a baby.

We desire for you to fully emerge yourself in the ICF Experience and therefore strongly advise to bring a nanny or organize care locally.

How many people are in one bedroom?

The regular offer we book for participants is a four or six bed dorm. There are a limited number of two-person bedrooms available. You can upgrade as long as there is space.

The price for the upgrade to a single or double bedroom can be found in the cost section.

We will add the extra costs to your overall ICF Experience registration. We can’t guarantee a fixed price here because hostel prices will change closer to the event date.
