The Potter’s Mark is for women ages 18+ who want to learn more about their identity in Christ and what it means to be a godly woman. We have all ages attending, and women from many walks of life are represented. If you are not a believer, but are curious about learning more about God, you are more than welcome at The Potter’s Mark as well.

The Potter’s Mark ticket prices are organized as follows:

$150 for registration with a room in The Lodge at Beulah Beach

$200 for registration with a room in The Cottages at Beulah Beach

Each ticket includes lodging for two nights, five meals (one on Friday, three on Saturday and one on Sunday), all teaching and breakout sessions, as well as all extra/free time activities. Plus, there are a few other surprise goodies thrown in as well. :)

Detailed schedule information is coming soon and will be emailed to you upon registration. Check in on Friday will begin at around 4:30PM and the conference will conclude at around noon on Sunday.

When you think of The Lodge, think rustic camp cabin on the beach. Bathrooms are communal but you will have everything you need! The Lodge still has AC & heat, as well as electricity. There are no fridges or microwaves in the Lodge, though you will have access to a microwave in the cafeteria for communal meals. The cottages are a bit farther from all of our activities but they are cozy bungalows that each vary in size, look, and arrangement, but all come with their own shared bathroom and kitchen. The cottages are more geared towards groups of women who come together, but we may be able to make arrangements for individual attendees who would like to stay in a cottage. Photos of both lodging options can be found here.

Pack all of your typical essentials you would need for a weekend away! A few things specifically for this retreat, an extension cord or strip if you need more than a couple outlets or would like a plug by your bed, sheets and pillows, and comfy walking shoes! More specific packing instructions will be emailed to you after registration.

The Potter’s Mark is hosted, supported, and promoted by a nonprofit organization called Upward Bound Youth (UBY), based in Smithville, Ohio. UBY exists to teach truth and equip youth and families with the gospel to be rooted, relational, and responsive citizens of Christ's Kingdom. They do this through youth programming, community events & conferences (like The Potter’s Mark), a year-long Bible institute, mentorship, and more. To learn more about Upward Bound Youth, visit UpwardBoundYouth.org. UBY’s statement of faith can also be found here.

At this time, we are only offering individual pricing for The Potter’s Mark tickets.

We are unable to offer refunds for The Potter’s Mark tickets at this time.

Yes! Mothers are welcome to bring their infants to The Potter’s Mark. Simply let us know in your registration so we can make sure you will have a private room. To help make your stay at Beulah Beach comfortable, please plan to bring a pack ‘n’ play, portable crib, or similar sleeping space for your child. Rooms will not have cribs provided, so bringing your own will ensure both you and your baby rest well.

Each conference ticket includes five meals: one on Friday evening, three on Saturday and one on Sunday morning. 

Both the lodging and the teaching sessions at The Potter’s Mark are handicap accessible. Please leave us a note on your registration if you need any special accommodations; we would be honored to help however we can.

Due to our desire to make the in-person event as effective as possible, as well as the policies of our speakers, we will not be offering a livestream or recordings of the teaching for The Potter’s Mark this year.

No problem! There are plenty of opportunities to meet other women! If you would like, mention that you are joining us solo in your registration and we can try to pair you with someone else who is coming on their own.

We have opportunities for vendors to share their businesses with the attendees of The Potter’s Mark, as well as opportunities for sponsors to help us promote this event. Please send us an email at info@upwardboundyouth.org to get in touch with us!

Yes and yes! You are welcome to attend as much of the conference as you are able. However, at this time we are not able to offer partial discounts or refunds on a ticket if you do not stay for the whole event. 

It is our desire that no one misses out on our conference because of financial circumstances. We do offer scholarships that are intended to only offset the registration fee for those in need. If you would like to apply for a conference scholarship, please do so here.
