The teens at The Salvation Army won’t soon forget their experiences at Teen Adventure Day. The day was complete with a high-ropes course, climbing wall, and paintball to name a few. Individuals were given the opportunity to interact with other teens while developing their faith just in time for the start of a new school year.

Cadets Descend on Btown

The Brigade of Cadets Pose at the College for Officer Training in Chicago before Heading to Bloomington
Spring break is usually awesome in Bloomington, but it’s even better when six young, passionate Salvationists spend their week hanging out at the Bloomington Corps!
Sure we’ll treat them to the culinary delights of 4th street and show them the natural splendor of IU’s campus. But the real reason they are here is to help out with spring break VBS, lead Bible study and worship services, and get a glimpse of life here at The Salvation Army in Bloomington. We couldn’t be happier, and we think the kids will be too! The worst part is that they’re only here for a week.
The Salvation Army’s cadet program is based out of each of the Salvation Army’s four Colleges for Officer Training. In preparation for officership, cadets undergo academic, religious and social service training. On four occasions during their two year training, cadets leave their campus and are assigned to communities where they help administer programs. These assignments, like the one in Bloomington, help prepare them for the challenges and joys that they’ll experience as officers.
Fun Fact: Prior to graduation, the “s” on each lapel and the epaulet are blue. At graduation cadets become officers and those items become red. In fact, there are two officers in the picture above, and once you know this fun fact, it becomes very easy to spot them.
Spring Break Fun!

The Salvation Army is running a fun vacation Bible school (VBS) for Monroe County elemementary students. It’s called “God’s All-Stars” and it runs the duration of Spring Break here in the Bloomington area: March 15-19 from 1-3pm
It’s a great time filled with creative crafts, wacky games, energetic gym time and quality time with special guests coming all the way from Chicago, just for ”God’s All-Stars”!
The best way to reserve a spot for your children is to contact Lt. Catherine. Experienced Salvation Army staff will provide transportation to “God’s All-Stars”, but these spots are limited.
