What is MIX?

MIX is specifically designed for incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students. At MIX, your students will experience high-energy worship, age-intentional Bible teaching, community with their friends and adult leaders, and a practical call to Kingdom Work, all centered around the fun and chaos that is middle school ministry.

What is included in the cost?

The price of MIX covers all meals from dinner on Day 1 through dinner on Day 4 (except Skip-A-Meal if MIX is on a college campus), housing, as well as all of the programming provided for general sessions and small group curriculum.

Will our students have small group time with their leaders?

Twice a day, everyone will be dismissed to Group Time. This is an opportunity for your youth group to come together for Bible study, discussion related to the daily theme, and to develop meaningful relationships. Each youth group will be assigned a location where they will meet. Material for Group Time is provided in the CIY CONVOS app before MIX begins. The MIX team works all year developing lessons and material that will equip you to lead your small group through the CONVOS app. You can download CONVOS for free on the Apple Store or Google Play Store.

What recreation activities will my group experience at MIX?

We believe middle school students absolutely have to play. We want to provide the time and space to do that through the classics and some originals: gaga-ball, 9-square, a dodgeball tournament, and The Outer Realm. The Outer Realm is a place where massive group games are played with a range of students – from 300 to 1,200 at a time. Playing in the Outer Realm helps a student connect to their fellow students and adult leaders and create amazing memories together. Our prayer is that an experience on the field can lead to better conversations in their group time. MIX will assign your group one of four team colors/mascots a few weeks before your event. While it’s not required to wear your team color, it’s a great way for your students to have fun at MIX!
