Campion Embraces Prospective Students

Campion Academy opened its doors to forty-five students in grades seven through eleven for the annual Academy Days open house weekend. Students came from across Colorado and Kansas to experience campus life, stay in the dorms, and connect with current Campion students.
The weekend kicked off Friday morning in the gym, where students played icebreaker games and enjoyed performances by the Jazz Band and Koinonia Choir. Chaplain Lindsey Santana shared a short worship talk to set the tone for the weekend. 
Campion student ambassadors then led small group tours of the administration building and other parts of campus, helping visitors get a glimpse of daily life at Campion. In the afternoon, guests participated in scholarship tryouts, including sports and music auditions.
“I really enjoyed it,” said Judah Nelson, an eighth grader from HMS. “I got to hang out with my friends, make new ones, and take a tour of the ad building with the ambassadors.”
That evening, students gathered in the chapel for vespers, where they sang praise songs and watched a drama performance before hearing an inspiring message from Evie Lange. The students took the piano and other instruments outside following the program, for an afterglow by the fire pit. 
Sabbath morning began with Sabbath School led by Lindsay Santana, followed by the main church service featuring a musical performance by Koinonia. After church, guests enjoyed lunch in the cafeteria and joined a campus-wide scavenger hunt, solving Bible verse clues. They enjoyed fall colors and sunny weather on a walk near Boyd Lake State Park.
The weekend concluded with a closing ceremony, where awards from the scholarship tryouts were announced and gift bags were presented by Campion staff. Caleb Leeper wrapped up the event with a final devotional message.
“It was really fun,” shared Alex Greenfield, a seventh grader from HMS. “I especially enjoyed the soccer tryouts and going to the lake. I’ll probably be coming to Campion too!”
