PE+ PLUS

In particular, the Volleyball, Basketball, Track, and Soccer camps may be of interest to high schoolers, although some of the science and sewing classes may be good as well.  Dodgeball has been a big hit and those classes are close to full. We've enclosed the schedule in this e-mail as well as course descriptions near the bottom of the page. Parents are well come to pay half at time of registration with the remainder paid at time of class.

 Students will learn the basics skills of volleyball: serve, set, bump, spike, dig, dink as well as rules and proper volleyball etiquette in a fun way practicing and playing games each day.  This is a great opportunity to learn volleyball for all of those summer picnics, parties, and barbeques!           

    

Summit Ministries Note

Eric Smith, of Summit Ministries, here in Manitou Springs will be coming to speak briefly at Chapter SEEK on April 5, and at the Flood the Five Conference in Colorado Springs on April 16-17.  The visions of ICC and Summit intertwine beautifully.  Summit is committed to helping young people learn and understand the truths of a Biblical worldview, and ICC is committed to training young people to be effective cultural communicators of truth in their communities.  These two organizations have been working together for a couple of years now, and I am excited by the opportunities this will bring to all our Christian students.

I've attached a letter written by Jeff Myers that explains the critical reasons why our students need to be prepared to defend their faith now, and how Summit Ministries can help you do this.  I think you'll find it interesting and challenging. 

If you would like to meet Eric Smith and talk to him about how Summit Ministries and their worldview curriculum can help prepare your students, you can come to Chapter SEEK on April 5, or register and bring a student to hear him also at the Flood the Five conference on the 16-17.  Information on the conference is available on this website here (http://www.instituteforculturalcommunicators.org/floodthefive) or feel free to contact me for more information.

If you are interested in coming on April 5, please contact me for the details.  Please forward this information to anyone who may be interested.

Junior Spokesperson Contest for Colorado CattleWomen

The contest for this area will be May 8 and will be in either Rifle or Meeker.  The person is still getting a final site; but kids could start working on their presentations and send in their registration forms to Kris Melnikoff in Collbran.  It's not on the brochure but in addition to the winners getting expense paid trips around their corner of the state and listed other events, we have come up with so far $250 cash prize per quarter of the state.  I have printed brochures and they can contact me at either by email or phone if anyone wants some sent. 

Summer Camp

During the school year, you may find it difficult to teach all of the courses that you would like. If you have been meaning to include a worldviews/apologetics course, a summer camp could lessen your course load during the school year while providing your teen with the information he needs to be knowledgeable and confident when communicating his beliefs and values to others.

Summit Ministries offers young adults (ages 16–24) a two week camp preparing them for college or the workforce where they’ll face many different ideas that are in conflict to a biblical worldview. They will receive instruction in worldview analysis, apologetics and leadership. Summit Ministries’ camps are held in Colorado, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Similarly, Worldview Academy Leadership Camp is for teens ages 13 and up. Students learn about servant leadership, apologetics/evangelism, and comparative worldviews. The six-day camp includes creative activities, worship, and thought provoking seminars.
