AIC is set up with a mixture of large assemblies and small groups throughout each day of the 2-day convention. You will be given a position as either a teacher or assistant teacher. Both will work together to teach a team of about 15-20 children during the small group sessions. A detailed curriculum and teacher training are provided prior to that time.
Our goal this year is to again register 300 children. In order for this to be possible we need at least 60 young people to assist. Please fill out the following teacher registration by May 1st. If your registration is accepted, you will receive a confirmation letter, a subscription to "The Adventurer" - a bi-weekly e-newsletter from the AIC staff, and the opportunity to participate in several teacher gatherings and training sessions throughout the month of May. We are looking forward to serving with you!
In addition to teachers and assistants, we are recruiting actors and actresses
to participate in the drama that takes place throughout the weekend. If you
are interested in being considered for a part, please indicate this on your
registration and send it as soon as possible. Those chosen for the drama will
be required to have their lines memorized and must attend drama rehearsals (see
below for schedule).
