Grade Nine Experience Begins: A Journey of Celebration and Transition

Today marked the exciting beginning of the Grade Nine Experience Trip for Trinity Christian School students—a special culminating adventure designed to celebrate their junior high years and help them transition into the next chapter of life.

The journey began early in the day as students boarded buses in Calgary and set out for Green Bay Bible Camp in beautiful Kelowna, B.C. Spirits were high as the buses wound their way through the Rocky Mountains, making two memorable stops along the way. The first was in Golden, where students grabbed lunch from their fast food spot of choice, laughing and chatting with friends as they took in the fresh mountain air. Later, the group made a sweet stop at D Dutchmen Dairy in Sicamous, a much-loved treat on this annual trip.

Upon arrival at Green Bay, students were greeted with a joyful welcome—camp staff waving flags and cheering as the buses pulled in, setting the tone for what promises to be a meaningful and fun-filled week. After settling in, students were treated to a hearty dinner of roasted chicken, potatoes, and fresh salad.

The evening brought opportunities for recreation and connection. Many took to the beach, swam in the sparkling Okanagan Lake, and challenged themselves on the floating water toys. Laughter echoed across the shoreline as the students embraced the camp experience.

As the sun set, the group gathered for a powerful time of praise and worship. The message for the evening reminded students that while Satan’s schemes may appear attractive, they are ultimately empty—only God brings true fullness and purpose to life. It was a spirit-filled time of reflection and encouragement.

The day ended with an exhilarating night game where students teamed up to rescue a captive while dodging the foam noodle-wielding enemy. It was a perfect blend of teamwork, laughter, and excitement.

From the rolling highways to lakeside worship, today was filled with meaningful moments, fun, and faith—a beautiful beginning to a week these students will remember for years to come.

Day Two at Green Bay: Sun, Laughter, and Spirit-Filled Moments

Our second day at Green Bay Bible Camp began with a breathtaking sunrise—an early reminder of God’s beauty and faithfulness. With sleepy eyes but excited hearts, students gathered for breakfast before heading off for an action-packed morning at Scandia Amusement Park.

From the adrenaline rush of Go-Kart racing to the friendly competition of mini golf and the energy of arcade games, students made lasting memories alongside their friends. The joyful laughter and playful banter were a perfect way to kick off the day.

Back at camp, students were welcomed with a taco lunch that hit the spot after a morning of fun. The afternoon brought on even more adventure with Bazooka Ball in the park—an exhilarating game where soft, golf-ball-sized projectiles are fired from air-powered blasters—and Laser Tag in the gym, transformed by fog machines and a dazzling laser light show. The room buzzed with energy and friendly competition.

The sun continued to shine as we entered the highlight of the day: three glorious hours of beach time on Okanagan Lake. Students swam, sunbathed, and tackled inflatable water obstacles like the blob and the giant slide. Others tried their hand at wake surfing and tubing behind the boat—cheered on by friends from the shore. God truly blessed us with perfect weather and joyful moments on the water.

Between beach adventures, students also had time to visit the Tuck Shop for snacks and treats. Later, a delicious dinner of butter chicken and warm naan bread proved to be a crowd favorite—comfort food with a flavorful kick!

The evening kicked off with the Green Bay classic, Garage Sale, a delightfully bizarre wide game where students raced to dress up in wild clothing while avoiding being tagged. Laughter echoed across the field as teams scrambled to collect the most outrageous outfits.

As night settled in, we gathered once more for a fireside chapel. Tonight’s message centered on the power of Jesus, His immense love, and the truth that God longs to walk with each student through life. The atmosphere was reverent and holy. As the invitation was given, students were moved to pray—some with staff, others with friends. It was a powerful, Spirit-led moment of connection, healing, and truth.

Today was a perfect blend of fun in the sun and deep spiritual connection. God is moving in the hearts of these students—and we’re so grateful to witness it.
