NEW Learning Camp Opportunity- Teen Encounters
NEW Learning Camp Opportunity- Teen Encounters
Teen Encounters is a once-a-month Learning Camp designed to help students build meaningful community, grow in their faith, and engage with academics in a supportive and encouraging environment. Each session includes a balance of connection and productivity: expect a mix of activities like devotions, board games, and PE-style group games, as well as dedicated academic support to help students focus on their home-based studies and projects. Whether it’s encouragement, accountability, or simply a quiet space to work, students will benefit from a structured setting that supports both their learning and personal growth. Grade levels and activities may vary slightly by location, but the heart of Teen Encounters remains the same: faith, friendship, and purposeful learning together!
Deadlines are fast approaching. For location-specific information, please see below:
And with a more outdoorsy approach, we're also offering Kelowna Teen Outdoor Adventures for Grades 6-12!

We are thrilled to announce that once again this year, we are offering as many as 36 Loran Awards to students entering university in the fall of 2026 who distinguish themselves through their strength of character, commitment to service, and intrinsic sense of values-driven leadership.
We are accepting applications from now until Thurs, Oct. 16, 2025, at noon ET.
Our approach to assessing a student’s potential is highly contextual; we do not look exclusively at conventional markers of success, like grades, but instead work to understand how a student has maximized the opportunities available to them. We firmly believe that our community is strengthened through a diversity of voices, interests, experiences, and perspectives. We need your help to ensure this incredible opportunity reaches as many eligible students as possible.
You can find a detailed breakdown of the program here.

What is BREAKFAST CLUB?
~All students in Grades 10-12
~Every Friday at 10:00am in Mr. B's Zoom room. (starting on Sept 26th)
Are you looking for intellectually stimulating conversation and meaningful online fellowship?
Welcome to BC 25/26!
Please click here for a short video on who we are.
Consider our biblically robust and culturally relevant INQUIRY INTO Faith, Literature, and Contemporary Life. This year, we are going to go through a series on what may be the most relevant topic we could possibly discuss:
Love!
We will be looking at this beautiful piece of poetry from 1 Corinthians 13, not with a romantic focus but an emphasis on its cultural relevance and personal application for all of us.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
