Impacting lives, guiding spiritual growth and building community through fun and excitement is the hope for Lipscomb’s 10 day summer enrichment camp called IMPACT.
IMPACT is one of Lipscomb’s largest summer camps, hosting more than 2500 students from all over the Southeast for both junior high and high school students. Beginning June 17th-27th students, faculty, counselors and youth ministers will come together for a time of worship and prayer.
“For 10 days IMPACT will have speakers, activities, games, worship time and entertainment for students to be exposed to and get excited about their faith,” said Assistant professor of youth and family ministry, Walter Surdacki.
This year the camp will have tons of great games and entertainment such as: musicians, comedians, jugglers, karaoke, softball, baseball and etc. in order for students to enjoy a time of continuous fun and excitement. Of course while having fun, students will also have the opportunity to build their faith through group worship, nightly devotion and classes lead by youth ministers from all over the Southeast.
Leah Raich, a senior public relations major from Memphis, Tenn. thinks that IMPACT is something very healthy to be involved in.
“Impact is a good place for students to be surrounded other people who have been in their position,” Raich said. “They can learn from their mistakes and successes in order to grow spiritually.”
IMPACT is not only a camp for students to have fun, but rather a place for spiritual growth and renewal.
“The goal is for students to feel like they are not alone in their faith,” Surdacki said. “IMPACT is really just a great chance for students to get energized about their faith. If students really want to grow within their faith, IMPACT makes an opportunity for that.”
