Wilshire Student Ministry website

In addition to the weekly cycle of youth activities and studies, the Wilshire Student Ministry offers several annual camps and events:

Youth Camp: This is the biggest week of the year for the larger student ministry. We load up a couple of buses and take youth in grades 7 through 12 to a week of camp designed just for Wilshire. It’s not someone else’s camp that we become a small part of; it’s our own fun-filled week of recreation, Bible study, learning, playing and having a great time.

Youth Choir mission tour: This weeklong tour is the icing on the cake for Youth Choir members who earn Frequent Singer Points throughout the year. The 80-voice choir travels to destinations mainly within the continental United States for a week of singing and service. Recent destinations have included Memphis, Tenn.; Boston; New Orleans; Chicago; and New Mexico. In 2010, the youth took their first international trip to the Dominican Republic. In 2011, the youth choir went to Atlanta, Georgia. The youth choir will travel to Chicago in June 2012. Register online at www.wilshirebc.org/register

Spring Retreat: We have taken the best elements of Disciples Now and Fall Retreat and combined them to create this exciting new event.

Fall retreat: Each fall, the youth group takes a weekend retreat to a nearby camp to get away from the hassles of school and commitments and focus on a spiritual theme.

Summer weekday missions: Throughout the summer, Wilshire youth participate in Tuesday Missions, which takes them to local service agencies to lend a hand, as well as Monday visits to a nursing home to sing.
