CIY MOVE
At the end of each July our Senior Highers attend an event called MOVE. It is a 5 days event that challenges students to MOVE towards God! Most all of the information is correct, the exception is the cost, as we often charge a bit more for additional meals. Make sure though, that in the spring you watch out for the Bible Memory Program on Sunday mornings, as this program often helps cover some of the cost of CIY MOVE.  www.ciy.com/move

CIY BELIEVE
Every fall we take our Jr. Highers to an incredible weekend event called "believe" it is a quick 24 hour conference that challenges our students to grow into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ! Currently this event is held at the Oregon Convention Center and we stay at a Hotel in Downtown Portland. Most all of the information on their webseite is correct, the exception is the cost, as we charge a bit more for meals and housing.  www.ciy.com/believe
