🇺🇸Do you have a history loving middle schooler?🇺🇸If so, you’ll want to know about this amazing camp being held in Bismarck this summer!

The camp is called Faith in America History Adventure Camp. The goal of this camp is to leverage fun and field trips to awaken in kids (middle schoolers) a love for history, a deeper appreciation for the role faith played in the history of America, and to deepen a mature patriotism. It is being led by Pastor Randy Upgren (Sr. Pastor at Inspire Family Fellowship) and his sons- Jordan and Josh Upgren (Public School history teachers - BHS and New England).

Here is a link to the website where you can watch a couple of short promo videos, get information, and register. https://www.faithamericaadventure.com/

Thank you to the Upgren family for sharing their knowledge, gift of teaching, and love for history in such a cool way for students!

Such a great afternoon with K-12 teachers in Williston today. The star of the show was definitely Alysia’s son Michael, who asked if he could talk to the teachers during the district training on dyslexia 🦋 These kids are so amazing. Thank you, Williston Basin School District #7 for all you do to support the 1 in 5!!!
