CIY MIX

CIY MIX IS A 4-DAY SUMMER EVENT OF AWESOMENESS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR 6TH, 7TH, AND 8TH GRADE STUDENTS.

MIX is an event that understands junior high students need their own experience. This age group is at a unique time in their lives – they’re growing and learning differently than any other age group. They’re still young enough to need to play, but old enough to start understanding some core ideals that will stay with them the rest of their lives. For this reason, MIX isn’t designed for high school students or for preteens. It’s specifically designed for sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students – it’s their chance to be exactly who they are: to play, listen, and learn as themselves.

This year, we’ll be heading to Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana on July 7, and we’ll be returning on July 10, 2024.

FAQ

LEADERS
Our leaders attending MIX with us are the same volunteers who lead and serve at Wednesday Night Live every week. They are all background checked and go through extensive training within TCC Students in order to be qualified to lead students well.

We promote safety by carefully background checking every leader who serves in our ministry. We also have very specific guardrails in place that leaders are aware of and are expected to follow such as never being alone with a student. Additionally, CIY hires local police officers to provide additional security at the camp.

TRANSPORTATION
In order to keep costs down, we look for volunteers to lend us a vehicle or multiple vehicles that can accommodate our group.

SCHEDULE
The day-to-day schedule includes 3 meals, 2 large group sessions including worship, teaching, and there are 2 small group sessions. Every student is placed in a small group with other students of the same age range and gender, and the groups are led by one or more of our trusted Small Group Leaders. This is their group for the entire week. The schedule also consists of structured activities for students to participate in with their small group, along with some free time where students can use the camp facilities and build relationships with their small group. On Thursday, we have extended rec. We will eat lunch and participate in an activity off campus!

Lastly
We sleep in the dorms on campus. Sleeping arrangements consist of students having 1-2 roommates who are students from their small group, which means they are always the same grade and gender. Leaders are always 1-2 rooms away, but they never share rooms with students.
