Students have Arrived
We were so excited to finally welcome students onto campus this week! Today students got to meet their color teams, which is the group they will be completing team challenges with. As evening approached we worshipped together before they dove into their first session on worldview with Dr.Jonathan Morrow. Students ended the day with “Get to Know You Activities” and an ice cream. It was a truly sweet first day!

Monday
Students started the day bright and early with breakfast together before they broke up for quiet devotion. Brett Kunkle, founder and President of MAVEN, led there classroom sessions throughout the day. They discussed different worldviews, how to share your faith with those that believe something different, and the influence of social media on our minds. It was a rich time, and lots of notes were being taken! In the afternoon students took part in their first team challenges. These activities help students to learn how to work together, communicate, and lead within a team.

Tuesday
After a late night of playing Tanks, a fun glow in the dark spin on dodgeball, yesterday students came back together this morning for quiet time and worship. Kathy Koch, founder of Celebrate Kids, Inc., led students in sessions this morning talking about their unique identity and their core needs. Benji Baker, Summer Experiences and 3 Initiative Manager, led the afternoon session on Emotional Resiliency. Students ended the day with one more session lead by Jonathan Morrow, Director of Cultural Engagement and Student Discipleship, where he walked them through the Case for Christianity. It was a full day of fun and learning!

Wednesday
We are officially half way through the week! Students started today in their new rhythm of quiet time followed by corporate worship. Dr.Jonathan Morrow joined them in the classroom today talking about how we can know that the Bible is historically reliable. In the afternoon Chrisitian Wizieck, Program Specialist, Summer Experiences and 3 Initiative, introduced our Discipleship Model. When you’re reunited with your student you should ask them about it. Dinner was extra energetic this evening as campers enjoyed an EXTREME Dinner. This meal required team work and creativity as students were given different challenges like having to eat blindfolded or with their hands tied.
We look forward to another fun day tomorrow!

Thursday
While it rained outside, students were busy taking notes inside as Katie McCoy, PhD in Systematic Theology and is a former seminary professor, taught on sharing the Gospel with their transgender friends. Students then headed to the field for their team challenges, which they are improving in as they learn how to communicate with each other. Dr. Jonathan Morrow held a much anticipated Q&A session in the afternoon where students could ask any question. After a full day of learning and discussion it was time for some late night fun! Students enjoyed a night of inflatable slides and icees.

TECHNOLOGY POLICIES
Q: WHAT IS THE CELLPHONE POLICY?
A: The wise use of technology is a good thing, and we will be using technology in our classrooms as we learn together (we will provide what is needed). However, in order to limit distractions and encourage community, focus, and learning, cellphone use will be prohibited for the duration of Propel. Students will be able to use their cellphones upon arrival at the airport/arrival on Impact 360 Institute campus. Cellphones will then be turned-off, collected, and placed in a locked cabinet after parents have been notified of their student’s safe arrival at Impact 360.
We ask that parents/guardians give their students space to learn and grow themselves by honoring our request to only contact their students in the case of emergencies or during designated times. In our experience working with high school and college students we have found that times of disconnecting from cellphones and other technology provides a great opportunity to reflect, grow, and connect with new friends. If you want to regularly keep in touch with your student, we encourage you to do so through mail!
If for some reason parents/guardians need to communicate with their students, they can do so by emailing summer@impact360.org or calling 706-457-4124.
EMERGENCY POLICY
Q: WHAT HAPPENS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY?
A: In the case of any emergency
- Appropriate legal authorities will be contacted immediately
- Our staff will be notified as soon as possible
- Students will be notified, and regularly updated as is appropriate
- Parents will be notified, and regularly updated as soon as possible
Q: WHAT IS THE POLICY FOR TORNADOES AND OTHER DANGEROUS WEATHER?
A: Impact 360 Institute is equipped with a large storm shelter with plenty of space for all of those staying overnight on campus. In the case of dangerous weather, parents will be notified and able to reach our full-time team.
DATING RELATIONSHIPS / SEXUAL ACTIVITY POLICY
Q: CAN STUDENTS DATE ONE ANOTHER AT IMPACT 360 PROPEL?
A: We expect all students to be as inclusive as possible during their time at Impact 360 Propel. Young dating couples who attend Propel together will not display affection physically, draw unnecessary attention to their relationship, or spend time together one-on-one.
Students who meet one another at Impact 360 Propel are not permitted to enter into a dating relationship. We will encourage any young couple considering dating a friend they meet at Impact 360 Propel to talk with their parents/guardians before making such commitments.
Additionally, students will not engage in any sexual activity during their Impact 360 Propel experience. Students who engage in sexual activity will immediately have their parents/guardians contacted via phone by someone on our team.
