Grab your sleeping bags and flashlights and prepare for a journey into the great outdoors as this year’s AIC heads to camp! Get in on the action as campers discover their new surroundings, compete for the top team award, wrestle with challenging questions, and experience an adventure that only few have taken. As the drama unfolds, AIC students will be taking their own journey into the pages of Scripture to learn about Joseph and how God used him and his trials for good to carry out His plan of redemption.

Adventures In Character is a children’s program for 6-12-year-olds that runs concurrently with the Teaching Parents Association Convention each year, enabling families to enjoy the benefits and inspiration of attending the weekend convention together. Our mission statement is, “Coming together to support parents in instilling the principles of God’s Word in the lives of the next generation.”

AIC runs concurrently with the Teaching Parents Association (TPA) Convention each year – May 31-June 1 this year. Our goal is to provide an atmosphere where homeschool students of all ages will be inspired, trained, and equipped with solid biblical teaching and skills that will prepare them to make a difference in the world. AIC is a multi-faceted program that includes the following areas:


DRAMA
Young people and adults ages 13 and older are invited to audition for a role in an original drama that will take place throughout the weekend. Rehearsals are held during April and May and provide an opportunity for those interested in drama and film to work with a team of dedicated staff and young people to stage a live production. The rehearsal times include spiritual encouragement, acting coaching, blocking, the art of costuming and make-up, prop and set design, and more. Auditions will be held March 23, from 1:00-5:00. Please contact Drama Director, Isaac Thonen, at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) if you are interested in being involved in any part of the production process.

TEACHING and DISCIPLESHIP
Young people ages 13 and older may apply to serve as a teacher or assistant teacher for a team of 15-20 children during the weekend program. Applications should be submitted via the website: Adventures in Character. Applicants that are accepted will be given the opportunity to participate in five training sessions that will equip them with effective communication skills, principles for discipleship, team management, and encouragement to go deeper in their own walk with the Lord. Specific dates and times are listed on the website, but please feel free to contact Director of Communications, Lauren Dunn, at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) for additional information.

WEEKEND OF FUN AND LEARNING
The AIC children’s program is open to children ages 6-12 whose parents are attending the TPA convention. The fast-paced weekend will be a collection of assemblies, Scripture memory, songs, an ongoing drama, small group teaching times, games, object lessons, stories, and more! The program will conclude with a special presentation for the parents at the end of the convention on Saturday.

Children may be registered for AIC via the convention registration form on the TPA website or by requesting a brochure.
