Never The Same (NTS) Camp is THE can't miss event of the summer for all middle schoolers! Every June, we take over Indiana Wesleyan's campus decked out in yellow, determined to take back the team comps trophy for the Gold Team. At NTS Camp, students will experience powerful worship, relevant teaching, epic team competitions, and countless opportunities to build friendships with their crew in Middle School Meetups. The week is packed with gaga ball, dance parties, late-night dorm conversations, and unforgettable moments. For many of our older students, NTS Camp is holy ground. This is where they, in middle school, encountered God and took ownership of their faith for the first time, and they left never the same. Don’t miss out on being part of the GOLD RUSH this summer—Go Gold!

From serving in homeless encampments to hosting food festivals and distributing essentials, students will see firsthand how God moves through His people to bring hope. With a Sunday stop at the Mall of America and time to build deep friendships with their leaders and peers, this trip will stretch and challenge students to live missionally long after we return home.
