The transition to middle school is an exciting milestone—for both students and their families. Join us for an evening designed to help parents, guardians, and 6th graders begin this new chapter with confidence, connection, and faith.

Parents and guardians will participate in an interactive session that combines practical information with meaningful conversation alongside other 6th-grade families. Each family will receive a complimentary book to help guide discussions about the middle school years, important conversations to have at this stage, and ways to nurture a life of faith and purpose.

Meanwhile, 6th graders can enjoy icebreakers, games, and open gym time. The evening concludes with families coming back together for a meaningful time of connection and a shared spiritual blessing.

Trusted adult leaders and chaperones will safely drive students between locations, with opportunities to serve through mission-focused activities woven throughout the afternoon.

Late registrations may not be accepted based on vehicle availability. Students may request to be placed on the same team and in the same vehicle as friends.

Join us for one of WCC Middle School Ministry's longest-standing traditions! During this overnight experience, students will learn about the realities of homelessness while raising funds to support our mission partner, IOCP.

The experience concludes with participants sleeping outside in cardboard boxes they have designed and decorated, fostering empathy, community, and a deeper understanding of our neighbors' experiences.
