Adventures In Character (AIC) : This Year : Teacher Registration

This year the TPA Convention will once again be hosting the Adventures in Character (AIC) children's program. AIC is open to all 6-12 year olds that have parents attending the convention. Our most important desire for AIC is to support parents in instilling the principles of God's Word in the hearts and lives of the next generation. Our exciting theme for this year is:

ESCAPE!

AIC is set up similar to a church VBS program. There are large assemblies and small groups throughout each day. You will be given a position as either a teacher or assistant teacher. Both will work together to teach a team of about 15 children during the small group sessions. A detailed curriculum and teacher training are provided prior to that time.

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).

The times for this year's conference that you would need to commit include:
