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.
