Rising To Success Leadership Retreat
This summer, we are inviting our rising 6th and 9th grade scholars to attend a truly amazing experience at Camp Sparta. This camping experience will give scholars the chance to build relationships—before the start of the school year, to eliminate pressures, and provide character building activities, team exercises, indoor/outdoor activities, as well as times for devotions and worship. The opportunity to connect with teachers, pastors, coaches, and staff will strengthen our scholars’ confidence as they set out to discover their true identity this coming year.
