StudentLife Camp Date Change?

It turns out that the week we had originally registered for StudentLife Camp, June 9-13, is the same week our local Boy Scout troop is going to summer camp. We're looking to reschedule to a different week of StudentLife so that none of our Scouting youth have to pick only one.

We have a number of equally valid options:
(1) May 31 - June 4 at Shocco Springs in Talladega, AL with camp pastor Wade Morris and musician Chuck Hooten at the same price.
(2) June 2 - June 6 at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, GA with camp pastor Chad Poe and musicians Rush of Fools at an extra $10 per student.
(3) June 23 - June 27 at Lee University in Cleveland, TN with camp pastor Jason Hayes and musician Chuck Hooten at $10 less per student.
(4) June 27 - July 1 at Lee University in Cleveland, TN with camp pastor Matt Setliffe and musician Matt Papa at $10 less per student.
(5) July 1 - July 5 at Lee University in Cleveland, TN with camp pastor Micheal Kelley and musician Brett Younker at $10 less per student.

Additional information:
(1) Wade Morris and Chuck Hooten were both at YEC 2013. The students who have gone to StudentLife Camp before have been to Shocco Springs. This "week" begins on a Saturday and ends on a Wednesday. Drive time to Shocco is 1.5 to 2 hours depending on who you get behind.
(2) Chad Poe and Rush of Fools were both at our week of StudentLife Camp last year. Jessica remembers going to Covenant College for StudentLife Camp when she was a youth fondly. This is a Monday to Friday "week." Drive time to Covenant is about 4 hours.
(3) Jason Hayes we've never heard, but Chuck Hooten was (again) at YEC 2013. Jessica remembers going to Lee University for StudentLife Camp when she was a youth fondly as well. This is a Monday to Friday "week." Drive time to Lee is about 4 hours.
(4) Matt Setliffe we've never heard, and the youth have never heard Matt Papa live; Matt Papa is leading music at the upcoming "Pursuing God's Heart for the Nations" event. This "week" begins on a Friday and ends on a Tuesday.
(5) Micheal Kelley has preached at least 2 YECs in the last few years; we have never heard Brett Younker live.
(*)Price changes would not necessarily be passed on to the students.

If you have an opinion, PLEASE let it be known now. We need to decide before Jan. 31 whether or not we are going to change our dates; and the sooner, the better. Feel free to comment here or on the LibertyYouth Facebook page.
