SUMMARY:Never The Same Camp
DESCRIPTION:From June 9-13\, StudentLife will be traveling to Indiana Wesleyan University to take part in Never The Same Camp. NTS Camp is a transformative summer camp experience for students in grades 6-12. Students will experience intentional small group interactions\, biblical teaching\, community building\, intentional worship and lessons\, and so much more\, with the ultimate goal of leaving them “never the same” after attending. NTS Camp focuses not only on helping students build their relationship with Christ\, but also the leaders by providing meaningful classes for both students and leaders. A heavy emphasis is placed on small group interactions within every youth group that attends. This is where students can dive deeper into what they are learning throughout the week. Join us for this powerful week!
