Ice Cream Olympics: Our event to welcome the rising 6th graders, Ice Cream Olympics is a messy and fun event in which we break into teams and use ice cream in the games. After getting hosed off post-Olympics, we partake of frozen treats, and students hear about our ministry philosophy and programs.
The Green Bean Game: This favorite event of the year, “The Green Bean Game Recon Thing” gets its name from the coveted cans of green beans hidden in the church building. The student teams are tasked with finding the hidden cans, but they cannot be caught by the co-directors while they search the dark building.
