Airport Shuttle Request: If you will need transportation from the Fort Wayne or Indianapolis airport, please fill out this form.
Scripture Engagement: Each morning, students will be exposed to a different approach to engaging Scripture that will help them to know God, not merely about God. Dr. Phil Collins, the director of the Taylor Center for Scripture Engagement, will introduce students to practices that will enable them to interact with the Bible in meaningful ways. Students will be given opportunities to practice the engagement methods and debrief the experience with fellow camp participants. We’re excited for students to connect with God through His Word which will foster a growing relationship with Him.
Summer Programs Scholarship: This $1,000 one-time scholarship is awarded to students who enroll full-time at Taylor University who have attended an eligible academic summer program on Taylor’s campus during high school and prior to senior year, and completed the required scholarship process while on-campus during the camp or conference.
