We went to Camp Krislund to enjoy a different kind of get to know each other. The trip included sessions on the DaVinci Code, worldview lessons, team building, and other activities provided at the camp.

Pastor Paul Grabill, of State College Assembly of God came the first morning to inform us of the information he has learned about the key disputes brought by the DaVinci Code since the movie had come out the night before. We also were taught by Bob and the other teachers how we should view the world as Christians and were given different circumstances to see our reactions.

Another activity was the championship games where teams competed in flag football, volleyball, and soccer. The players fought hard and did not leave without a few bruises. Although the days were rather hot, fun was had by all and the cold showers for the guys were nothing compared to the lack of water for the girls, thanks to a few of their favorite teachers.

Air School has enabled our students to study outside the walls of Grace Prep. In January '06 we traveled to Washington D.C. and rural Pennsylvania. While in D.C. we stopped by the Supreme Court for a short tour and presentation. Although the Justices were not in session, we were able to be in the actual courtroom where the oral arguments take place.

As part of Grace Prep’s goal to prepare students to defend their faith, we had an intro-duction to Islam by a practicing Muslim in a Islamic Center and Mosque. There was a tour of the mosque and an opportunity to observe their prayer tradition. Afterward, Mr. Anderson debriefed us all about Islamic false teachings and outlined an intelligent strategy to defend our faith.

Next we traveled to the International Spy Museum. It is the only public museum in the world solely dedicated to the tradecraft, history, and contemporary role of espionage. The museum’s permanent exhibition presents the tradecraft of espionage through the stories of individuals and their missions, tools and techniques. Exhibits featured a huge collection of international espionage artifacts. So much so that Yuri is considering it as a career oppurtunity.

Our journey finished in York, PA at the Harley-Davidson manufacturing facility. We began with an introductory movie but it got good as we continued on to the factory floor and got a behind-the-scenes look at the people, processes and products of Harley operations.
