XC Practice | July 8th
Cross Country practice begins Wednesday, July 8th from 6:30–8:00 AM and will continue throughout the summer on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 6:30–8:00 AM.
XC is open to all students in 6th–12th grade, whether you're an experienced runner or have never run a race before. Cross country is about much more than speed—it's about perseverance, discipline, encouragement, and accomplishing things you didn't think were possible.
Students are required to wear their athletics uniform and wear comfortable running shoes with good traction/grip that are ready to handle trails, grass, hills, and plenty of miles. Don't forget a water bottle!
Theater Camp | July 7-10
Students entering 1st–5th grade are invited to join us for Theater Camp on July 7–10 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The cost is $35 per camper.
This year, campers will learn, rehearse, and perform Fish Tales 2: Good Fish for Resurrection Day, a fun and engaging musical that shares the powerful story of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
As they prepare for the performance, campers will discover what made Good Friday "good," why the resurrection changes everything, and how Jesus revealed Himself alive to His disciples after rising from the dead.
The week will culminate in a special performance on Friday, July 10, for parents and family members to enjoy as campers share all they have learned throughout the week.
Missed the June 19 registration deadline? Please contact Mrs. Kesterson to see if space is still available and to receive camp materials.
We can't wait to see our young performers bring this meaningful and exciting story to the stage!
Gardening Camp Recap
Our Gardening Camp was a wonderful time of digging, planting, and discovering God's incredible design in creation!
Campers learned the science behind seed germination, explored why different plants thrive during different seasons, and compared three unique gardening methods to better understand the benefits of each. They also planted a variety of vegetables and received seeds to take home so they can continue growing their own gardens long after camp ended.
A special thank you to Mrs. Talley for sharing her knowledge and opening her home for this hands-on learning experience. We loved watching students gain practical gardening skills while developing a deeper appreciation for God's provision through His creation.
