At the beginning of September 2022, Petra Acitya Christian Junior School held a Bible Camp. It is a spiritual and character development program from Petra Christian School Board. This event aims for students to be able to resume school routines (face-to-face) with the right spirit and motivation, after two years of online learning.

The Bible Camp was held for two days from Thursday, September 1 until Friday, September 2, 2022, from morning until evening. All the 8th-grade students of 158 students joined the hybrid event. Even though there were students who joined online, the committees still tried to provide the best service so the students could experience the excitement of this Bible Camp event.

The theme for this Bible Camp was “Begin Again.” This event consisted of two sessions: the first session was served by Pdt. Yoses Rezom Suignyo from GKI Sidoarjo. The second session had several fun activities, such as games, talent shows, dynamics, and group discussions. In the first session, students actively asked questions, and at the end of this session, students realized that they were never alone in re-starting routines and challenges at school. Furthermore, the fun activities were carried out in various places, such as a multipurpose room, outdoor field, and live Zoom meetings from all classes. As the committee used various places around the school, the students did not get bored participating in every event that had been prepared.

The Bible Camp was so exciting. All 8th-grade students could gather together and get acquainted with friends from different classes. They wished this event would be outside of the school in the future, just like before the pandemic.
