Retreats and Trips Camp Highland (Ellijay, GA) Our Middle School retreat is a unique experience that happens early in the school year. Each grade has 24 hours* at camp by themselves with our staff and the camp’s staff. They experience worship, messages, team building, fun, water activities, and much more. *As part of the 8th grade experience, they are allowed an extra day at camp. 6th Grade Creation Trip The Creation Museum, Ark Encounter, and Mammoth Cave all fit perfectly into our 6th grade Bible, History, and Earth Science curriculum. Students will enjoy learning scientific evidence that the Bible is absolutely true and, by knowing that, we can absolutely trust the Bible as 100% truth. Tour Objectives: During the trip, we will focus on: •The 7 C’s as found in the Creation Museum (Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation) •The evidence of a worldwide flood •How the Bible supports dinosaurs •God’s handiwork in creating Earth’s magnificent structures 7th Grade Jekyll Island Expedition At Jekyll, students experience firsthand all that they have been learning about in science class throughout the year. Students will visit Georgia’s coastline to seine for crabs, shrimp, fish, and other sea life, observe the fresh and saltwater marshes, explore natural forests with some of the largest oak trees on the island, and visit one of the largest sea turtle refuge centers in the south. While exploring God’s creation, students also worship together, work as a team and strengthen relationships with their classmates. 8th Grade DC Trip As a culminating event in the middle school experience each 8th grader participates in the annual “Heritage Tour,” which includes comprehensive tours of Washington D.C. and Colonial Williamsburg. Many sites visited focus on elements of American heritage, including history, government, and culture. Through these experiences, students are exposed to stories of courage through adversity, humility, and statesmanship. Coupled with this emphasis on American heritage is a special emphasis on America’s Christian heritage and the clear threads of Christianity in our country’s past and present. Students will walk away from firsthand, immersive lessons that build a sharper understanding and facilitate the growth of a godly worldview.
