Imagine a week-long government class,
condensed into one exciting, action-packed day,
and tailored to educate and motivate 8-12 year old students.
The TeenPact One Day Class does just that
At the TeenPact One Day class, we understand that even learning about government can be fun. Students 8-12 years old will see their capitol building, participate in public speaking exercises, and learn what the Bible has to say about the government. Each student will write a bill and have the chance to discuss it with other students in their "committee" during the mock legislature. Each activity made easy to understand with plenty of interaction and energy. Hands-on learning, an enthusiastic staff team and an encouraging atmosphere make this a class you'll never forget!
Activities Include:
- Understanding the Legislative Process
- Prayer Walk
- Mock Legislature
- The Influence of Constituents on Lawmakers
- The Role of Christians in Politics
- Being "Salt and Light" at the Capitol
- the biblical responsibility to pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-3)
- the principle of "higher authority" (Romans 13:1-2)
- the "bill-to-law" legislative process
- public speaking for young students
Cost
Student tuition is $34 for the first child and $29 for each sibling.
When is it?
The One Day Class meets on the Friday following the Four Day program. The class time is from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The One Day Class is designed for parents and children to attend together. One parent is required to attend per family and will come at no charge.
Where do we need to go on Friday?
Meet at your state capitol rotunda at 8:45am on the day of your class (the class runs 9am-3pm).
What do we wear to the One Day class?
We want our young men to wear a collared shirt, dress pants and tie. We ask that young ladies wear mid-calf skirts or dresses. Wear comfortable dress shoes and expect to do some walking. The dress code for parents is a modest and professional outfit.
