Viva NashVegas Weekend
$200 – June 13-15, 2008

Locals here in Nashville play it cool when a celeb or two crosses our path and we do not do the “tourist” thing.  So, before you arrive, we want to help you get it out of your system.  This weekend will walk you through the Country Music Hall of Fame, tour of celebrity homes, Grand Ole’ Opry, and many other Nashville tourism staples.  Join us for a weekend of tourist, cheesy, NashVegas fun. 

Urban Immersion Experience 
$150 – June 20-23, 2008

The Belmont Urban Immersion program is a three-day excursion into the life of Nashville’s disenfranchised populations, and an introduction into the themes of discipleship and urban life, and an entry way into various service and outreach opportunities at Belmont.
