With Summer Approaching before you know it and Summer Camp Sign-ups on the way, we wanted to give you a taste of the Summer Camp we are going to this year.  It will be an incredible week of connection with God and others and more fun than you can handle in a week!  Teen Camp at Woodlands is an experience all its own. Biblical values and beliefs are presented through individual quiet time, cabin devotions, Troubleshooters (group discussions on cultural issues) and chapel services. Everything is centered on the cabin unit. Teens eat, sleep and compete as cabins. This small-group format affords a greater opportunity for relationships to be developed between campers and their counselors and thus presents a greater opportunity to share Christ as the answer to today’s teen problems. Oh yeah, there’s also a healthy dose of great friends, unforgettable memories and a ton of FUN!!!

Tweens are a species all their own. They still possess some of the innocence of youth, yet they have to face many of the cultural issues that teens face. So our Junior High Camps are geared specifically for them. Campers get the high-energy, team competitions of Junior Camp, as well as the focus on heart issues from Teen Camp. It is a great program for campers who are standing at one of life’s most important crossroads.

We are so excited about our Middle School Fall Retreat coming up the weekend of November 4th-6th. It is going to be a packed weekend with great teaching from God’s word, a high-energy engaging worship atmosphere, tons of fun games, and of course our star-studded cast of interns. The theme for this year’s fall retreat is “It’s Not About Us:Pursue His Purpose.” We want to communicate to our students that life is not meant to be centered our selfish desires and ambitions. Life is about serving God and trying to follow His purpose.

Teaching our students at the fall retreat will be Jamal Quattleabaum. Jamal is from Greenville, SC and is a long time friend of the TCC youth ministry. He was a 3 year summer staffer at Look Up Lodge and has worked with several youth and young adults ministries in the Greenville area. Jamal is a truly gifted teacher that has an ability to speak truth in a powerful way. If you want to know how awesome Jamal is just ask one of the high school interns. We are grateful to have someone like him that can come in and give a fresh perspective on God’s truth.

The schedule for the weekend will be as follows:

Friday Night- 6:30-9:30

Saturday- 8:30am-6:00pm

Sunday- Church as usual!

The cost for the event is $30 which includes all meals on Saturday, snacks on Friday night, and an awesome T-shirt! To register for this event go here. We are looking forward to it and we hope to see you there!

We have an exciting new middle school event coming up in October! On Friday, October 14th instead of gathering together at church like we do so many other times, all of our students will go to a host home for the evening to hang out with their small groups! The 6th grade boys will go to one home, the 6th grade girls to another, and so on and so forth. This will give our students a chance to hang out together in a smaller, more relaxed environment. There will be snacks, games, and lots of time to get to know everyone in your grade! Stay tuned for directions to your host homes and further details about the schedule!

If you are attending Breakaway we need you to help out with snacks and drinks. We need everyone to bring either a 2-liter soda, chips, cookies, crackers, or some other kind of snack or drink (enough to share).

Since we are doing Breakaway in October, there will be no BIG next month. We will most likely do Breakaway once a quarter and any month in which we do Breakaway we will not do BIG. Make sure to check back next week for further details, but to be sure you are getting all the updates on what we are doing at TCC please register as a parent here, and register as a 6th grade student here, a 7th grade student here, or an 8th grade student here. There is no registration or cost for Breakaway, so make sure to head to your host home on October 14th!!!
