Details

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, TeenPact offers Evening Sessions that give Students the opportunity to relax and fellowship with like-minded peers in a more casual environment. Students play games, participate in small groups, enjoy a time of worship, and are challenged by a message from the Class Director. Evening Sessions are an integral part of the TeenPact experience, allowing Students to combine the academic emphasis in class with a spiritual focus on Students’ relationships with God and one another. We often like to say, “TeenPact is so much more than what happens at the capitol!” Parents are invited as well.

Evening Sessions will be held at the South Dakota Army National Guard Armory. Directions can be found here.

dinner

We are pleased to offer home-cooked dinners at an affordable cost to Four Day Students and families who plan to attend Evening Sessions, thanks to the dedicated hard work of several parent volunteers. The cost of dinner will be $15 per person for three nights, or $20 per person for four nights. If you are interested in purchasing dinners for Evening Sessions, please contact Anita Carrette by Friday, February 14, and plan to bring exact cash to class check-in.

Note: Discounted dinner is available for tag-along siblings under the age of 12.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to stay and observe the Four Day class. We love having parents learning right alongside their Student!
