TeenPact is for homeschooled 8-19-year-olds where they can learn the political process, grow closer to God, defend their Christian faith, and much more! TeenPact Missouri is going to be held from Monday, March 1, 2021, to Friday, March 5, 2021, in Jefferson City, Missouri.

Masks In Hotel
Masks must be worn in all public places. When we are in any meeting rooms within the hotel we have the choice to wear masks. When going through the breakfast line, or any meal line, we will be asked to wear masks as a courtesy to the hotel staff.
Meals
The breakfast will be served cafeteria-style for the hot items that require a utensil to serve. The staff will ask that we keep our masks on when going through the buffet line. This meal is included with the cost of the room and each room should have a maximum of 4 tickets available per day.
Parking details are not yet out, but if you stay at the Capitol Plaza Hotel, they have free parking in the basement.
Classes
There will be a four-day class for teenagers from March 1-4. On Friday, March 5, there will be a Political Communications Workshop for teenagers and there will also be a one-day class for kids ages 8-12.
Evening Sessions
At night, from March 1-3, there will be evening sessions which students can go to. The evening sessions will be held at the Union Hill Baptist Church. This is completely optional but the students are encouraged to come. The church has a recommended mask policy but it is not enforced. The church has a gym for the students to run in before the evening worship time.
Masks, Sanitizer, Health
Here is what TeenPact Missouri requires in response to COVID-19.
Masks
TeenPact Missouri does not require masks, but the Truman Building highly recommends it. You are encouraged by TeenPact to bring a mask in case something happens.
Sanitizer
TeenPact asks that each student bring their own hand sanitizer to stay clean.
Health Screening
The TeenPact National Office will be sending a Health Screening Form to all the registered students the week prior to the class. In order to be permitted into the class, each attendee must complete and sign the form within 24 hours of arrival, and present the completed form at check-in.
TeenPact does reserve the right to turn away a Student if any of the responses on the form could indicate a potential diagnosis of COVID-19.

Each student (unless in the Political Communications Workshop) will have homework to do prior to the class. If you are interested in doing a study session before TeenPact Missouri, feel free to call 417-778-6899 or you can email amanda@altonmo.com.
