STRONGHOLD 2022 (June 5-10)
In 1985, the relationship with Camp Stronghold was establishedand BASIC has continued to go ever since. Because of COVID wehave not been able to host camp the past 2 years. But this year isa "GO" and BASIC is excited and hope you are too! Each evening we will hear a message from our guest speaker relevant to every juniorhigh student. Our days will be spent in small group Bible studies, large group singing, great large group day games and night games, hilarious skits presented by the BASIC leaders, swimming, and many other unbelievable activities.
FAITHS (June 20-24)
FAITHS is a summer mission day camp for students entering 7th-12th grade. We will spend each morning doing service projects in the Iowa City area, and hosting/serving a lunch to grandparent-age members of our congregation on Friday. Our days will begin at 8:30 a.m., with devotions and directions. Our work will end at 12:00. We will gather each morning in The Hub for instructions and devotions and then board “Andy’s Ark” (the church bus) and head out to our work location. At the end of our morning, we will return to St. Andrew for pick-up.
