SYC 2026 Electives

You don't have to wait for the Hunger Games to practice your bow skills. Join this elective and try out aiming some arrows at the practice range!

With popular demand, laser tag returns to be one of this year's electives. You get to play out laser tag battle in the outdoors as you dodge around the Gardom forest.

Now with a newly installed climbing wall, you get to challenge your grip strength and agility as you try to conquer the climbing walls of various skill levels.

If you just want a chill time alone or with some friends on a canoe, kayak, or paddleboard, then this elective would be for you. (but this time you get exclusive access to the equipment)

​

*Note that watersports is also available for everyone during free time each day.

Challenge yourself by taking on the high rope course in Gardom. When you complete the challenge, you will be rewarded with a zipline to the finish line. (disclaimer: not as high as the actual zip line course)

Want to just dash down 3-4 stories high and scream with joy? Come join the zipline elective as you dash down from the top.

Come for some friendly game of hoops in the gym as we enjoy some pickup basketball games together.

Always a popular elective, come for a time of bumps and fist bumps over a game of volleyball together

Channel your inner Messi or Mbappe as we enjoy a match of soccer (or football if you want to call it properly) on the pitch during elective time.

If you don't like the hustling and high intensity from Ultimate but still wants to throw some discs, then this is for you! It's basically golf, but with a frisbee!

For this year's crafts, we will be making an assortment of handy crafts. Those joining crafts on Monday will get to create a prayer journal, and for the whole week we offer a selection of lip balm, bath bombs, and other personal care products to create.

For the first time, we will be offering a theatre and improv elective. Join us for a lighthearted session as we exercise our acting and creative muscles together over some fun activities.

If physical exercise is not something for you, you can consider joining us in exercising our minds through some tabletop and card games together!

Our speaker Sam Chua will be hosting a chess session built for all experience levels! For the competitive players, we’ll be running a Blitz chess tournament with fast-paced games. Prefer a more relaxed vibe? Casual boards will be set up for beginners and open play, so you can learn the basics or just play a few fun rounds at your own pace. There’s something for everyone!

Listen to experienced worship leaders sharing about how they engage in worship and how they embark on the journey of worship leading. This elective is not exclusive for people playing music, but anyone who wants to deepen their appreciation in engaging in worship.

Led by our special guest Kurtis Rodgers, we will get to hear how we can make a difference in our faith outside of school, and even in campus as we look forward to college.

Churches “don’t grow on trees,” but they are planted through God and His people. So how does that even work and how can we play a role even if we are not planting ourselves? Come join us as Paul Wicki from Send Network shares about what church planting is and how God works in mysterious ways.

Many Christian communities and churches have been on the decline and struggling. How do we bring life back to grow and regrow them? Join us as guest speaker Steve Savage shares on his experience on how we can build healthy communities of faith and grow spiritually!
