What is Mark West Pacific 2013?
A group of about 100 students from UBC, Emily Carr, and SFU will get away to the beautiful Pioneer Pacific camp on Thetis Island to study about the life of Jesus from the earliest document written about him called the Gospel of Mark, found in the Bible's New Testament.

Where is Mark West Pacific?
From April 25th to May 1st at the Pacific Pioneer camp on Thetis Island, BC.
View the camp website: HERE
Who Will Attend?
All kinds of students will come, people of many faiths (not just for Christians), and from many countries (Canadians and Internationals). The purpose is investigate together who Jesus is and how faith in him has tremendous relevance for us today.
What About Bible Study?
The Bible will not just be studied academically, but you will experience it through art (yes you'll have a chance to make art together), through drama which you can participate in, through group reading and discussion, and your own late night discussions around coffee with a friend.
Bible study sessions will total 35 hours during the week. It's kind of like attending a spring class.
The first day includes three study blocks (3 hours each). The other days have 2 study blocks and large free time blocks to explore the outdoors or relax.
How Will I Benefit?
First of all you will make amazing friendships during this week away on beautiful Thetis Island.
You'll have time to think deeply about your life and about God. You will learn to imagine a kind of faith that addresses both personal and world concerns, all in the context of asking questions together.
You will learn how to study the Bible by drawing on skills of literature study you use at university
Amazing out door experiences: Learn to Sail, try Kayaking or canoeing, take a sight seeing boat tour, mountain biking...
Cost: $350.
Scholarships available. Don't let finances stop you, money is available to help those who need it.
Email Mike (mbennett@ivcf.ca) to ask about scholarships.
