SPEC is one of the most powerful and fun-filled experiences in the life of our high school youth, and we would love for you to be part of the Calizonia delegation this year!
What is SPEC
SPECTACULAR (SPEC) is a camp for high school students who have completed grades 9-12.
Each summer around 1,100 campers and leaders gather at Graceland University for the largest annual youth event in Community of Christ. Together we create a safe, Christ-centered community where young people are invited to discover God, claim their inherent worth, and explore, develop, and share their giftedness.
What can campers expect
Throughout the week youth will experience diverse and vibrant worship, leadership and discipleship development, delegation devotions, and communication and life skill workshops.
They will also enjoy many of the traditional SPEC activities including basketball, volleyball, soccer, table tennis, musical instruction, stage production, arts and tie dye, service projects, conversations about diverse topics, time with friends, and much more.
Where is SPEC
SPECTACULAR is sponsored by Community of Christ and hosted at Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa.
