The cost to attend Fusion is $45 per person (students and adults/chaperones are all $45/person) This registration fee covers food, on-campus activities, and admission to the Friday night concert.
While Fusion has partnered with trusted local camps to help secure very affordable rates, housing costs are handled directly by each youth group.
Friday night concert-only tickets are also available to purchase separately for $20 per person.
Food is included in your registration fee!
Friday night is a pizza party. Then, on Saturday breakfast, lunch, and an optional dinner are all included.
New in 2026, Fusion is partnering with trusted local church camps to provide safe, supervised, off-campus housing for youth groups. Rather than staying in campus dorms, students will lodge at established church camps located just a short drive from the IWU Marion Campus.
These local camps offer clean, secure accommodations and a welcoming environment designed with student safety and comfort in mind. To help keep Fusion affordable for families, conference registration has been reduced to $45 per student (down from $55), helping offset housing costs while maintaining a high-quality conference experience.
Off-campus lodging at local church camps is the responsibility of each youth group. While Fusion has partnered with trusted local camps to help secure very affordable rates, housing costs are handled directly by each group.

Senior, Youth and Pastoral Ministry
Hi, I'm Nathan, and I serve as the Programming Executive for Fusion. Fusion has been a meaningful part of my journey since high school. It's where I first experienced the presence of God in a powerful way and found a community that helped shape my faith. I'm grateful now to help create that same kind of space for others, where students can grow, connect, and encounter God in life-changing ways.
