Registration Process

Log-in to the 2025 Davidson Family Retreat Community on the Davidson Member Community (DMC) site HERE to access the registration link. (direct registration link will not be available in DMC until January 8)

  • If you are a Young Scholars Program member having difficulty accessing DMC, please reach out to our team through the Contact Us page with your name, email and Young Scholar's name. 
  • Be prepared to fill out the registration form in its entirety.
    • Registration includes the following sections: contact information & acknowledgements, ticket selection, mandatory forms, payment, and submission.
  • Complete one registration form per family and include the information for all parties attending. Registrations are not editable once submitted, therefore you'd have to submit a second registration to add family members at a later time.
  • Please enter legal name(s) for ticket details. An option to provide preferred names for name badge purposes is available in the attendee demographic form.
  • At least ONE PARENT/GUARDIAN must attend the Family Retreat with their youth. Youth are not able to attend alone as this is a family-based event without childcare supervision (except during youth workshops only).
  • After your registration is submitted, Gazebo will send an email with your ticket details. Additionally, Davidson staff will verify your membership in the Young Scholars program, and you will receive a confirmation email from Retreat@DavidsonGifted.org.  Please allow 2-3 business days for your registration to be verified by our team.

Youth Workshop Signups: Youth workshop signups will be released in February. Any families who have already registered for the Family Retreat prior to this release will receive an email notification. Once released in February, any new Family Retreat registrations moving forward will access the link to complete workshop sign ups in their confirmation email. Families will choose their own workshops for youth directly through our form. Each workshop is capacity based, and reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

This event is private to current members of the Davidson Young Scholars program, and their families. Status of registered attendees will be manually verified after submission. Registration will be cancelled for anyone who does not have current Young Scholars membership status. The the first two application cycles of the Young Scholars program application are likely the final opportunities to apply and receive a decision before the Summit registration deadline. If you currently have an application being processed for the Young Scholars program, your registration will be cancelled and an opportunity to re-register prior to the event registration deadline of May 30 will be provided if your application is accepted prior to the deadline.
