Celebrate Life is a multi-day event, open to students currently in 6th through 12th grade, which takes place each May at Olivet Nazarene University. The event is designed to encourage the development and abilities of students in the name of Jesus. Each year, hundreds of students from all over the Central Field (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin) converge on ONU’s campus to worship and fellowship together and to celebrate the gifts and talents God has given to them. It’s a wonderful weekend of Christian community and a great opportunity for students to experience what ONU has to offer!

Anyone can attend the field event as a spectator. However, only those who have qualified at the district level by being selected for a team event or receiving a qualifying talent entry evaluation will be able to participate in those events at the field level.

Everyone cares camp is an overnight summer camp created for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Here the campers are paired one-on-one with counselors to give them a personal summer camp experience. The goal is to give the individuals a chance to feel normal, express themselves, and enjoy a few days of the summer camp experience with a spiritual emphasis! Additionally, it provides a few days of respite for caregivers. Everyone Cares Camp has been serving individuals with special needs for 60 years. Not only does this provide an incredible experience for the campers, but it also creates disciples of God’s children, as counselors learn to put their buddy’s needs before their own.

 We are thrilled to announce we are returning to Streator Baptist Camp.  We are excited about this partnership and hospitality shown to us by the good people in Streator.  Our upcoming theme is CHOSEN and our camp dates are July 22-26, 2024.  If you want to see their facilities you can check them out here.
