MIX is a five-day summer camp uniquely designed for middle school students. It is intentionally crafted in ways they engage through tactile, interactive, and fun activities coupled with Bible-based teaching and small group interaction.
MIX is an event that understands middle school students need their own experience. This age group is at a particular time in their lives – they’re growing and learning differently than any other age group. They are still young enough to need to play but old enough to start understanding some core ideals that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
For this reason, MIX isn’t designed for high school students or preteens. It’s specifically designed for middle school students – it’s their chance to be exactly who they are: to play, listen and learn as themselves. The Chapel only invites current 6th and 7th grade students to participate.
It’s also created for adult leaders to build relationships with students that will last long after the MIX experience. At MIX, your middle schooler will come to understand their identity in God’s Kingdom and be challenged to embrace the Kingdom work He has prepared for them.
