Join kids from all over the world in a time of learning, worshipping, and participating in various activities. Kids are hungry for God, and we value giving them the space to experience Him. We have seen them respond to impartation in a heart-touching way. We have seen them reach out through prophetic art to bless the conference attendees. It has been a joy to see them worshipping, ministering to each other, learning, laughing, and enjoying the presence of the Lord. This is a priceless opportunity for your child to be forever changed in their faith journey.
Through impartation, teaching, and fun, Global kids will experience God’s extravagant love and learn His truth about us — that we are empowered to be a Light in the Darkness.
To ensure your children’s safety, all of the speakers and volunteers have been screened. We have the best security check-in / check-out system available. Children are subdivided into smaller “classes” and identified by a group color. These color-coded classes are used for smaller group teaching and game activities. No on-site GAK registrations are allowed. Any children registered after April 6th may not have the correct t-shirt size. Registration closes on April 13th.

The kids’ program runs during the morning and evening sessions. You can drop your kids off at 8:30 am and their session will begin at 9:00. Pick-up is at 12:30 pm. In the evening, you can drop your kids off at 6:30 pm and their session starts at 7. Kids can be picked up at 10 pm.
The kids can go into the adult sessions with you; all kids 12 and under can attend the adult VOP sessions for free. Please make sure that your children are always with a guardian.
During the pre-registration process on our website, we collect all the information we need to make an account for your child in our KidCheck program.
When you arrive for the initial check-in, please join the registration line according to last name. One of our volunteers will direct you to enter your phone number to check-in your child. Then, our printer will print two stickers: one for you and one for your child. Your child will wear their sticker. You will use your sticker during check-out. You and your child will be assigned a unique code on the stickers to match you both during check-out. Any important information indicated on the form you submitted online will also appear on their sticker (i.e. allergies, no photography, etc.).
At registration, we will provide a GAK schedule and color roster. The color roster will let you know which group your child is in for the week, and who their team leader is.
If you need to update any important information, please do not hestiate to call 717-796-9866, email events@globalawakening.com or let one of our volunteers know at check-in.
Kirsten Ruhl is leading the kids’ program. Kirsten and her team are the main speakers.
If you know for some reason you will be unable to pick up your kids during the specified time, please make arrangements ahead of time for your child to be picked up by your 2nd guardian. The 2nd guardian’s information must be included when you are registering your child. If you are worried about missing impartation or part of the session that has gone late, please remember that you can pick up your kids and go back into the adult session with them.
You do not need to bring your email confirmation; we will have you and your children on our list. Registration for parents begins at 4 PM on April 26th, and kids registration will begin at 6:30pm. Please refer to our check-in process column for further information on check-in and drop-off.
Due to safety regulations, none of the parents are allowed into the kids’ program. All adults that are in that room have gone through paperwork and other clearances. This is to protect your children. The kids typically adjust quickly to the group setting. If they have any issues adjusting, we will contact you via the number you gave us on your registration.
If your child is having an encounter with the Lord and cannot get up during check-out, a GAK team member will walk you to your child so you can carry them out.
There is teaching, worship, and lots of fun activities. Some of the evening sessions also feature a guest speaker and a time of impartation. We will provide a schedule including the classes upon check-in.
