What's Your Memories Of The IASC Summer Workshop

This past week the IASC held the annual Summer Workshop program at Millikin University in Decatur, IL.  Most, if not all of you, reading this post have attended Summer Workshop in the past.  As reported on the IASC Facebook page, this year 46 students, 4 adults, and 15 staff members all made the 2010 Summer Workshop a great success. 

If you have been to the IASC Alumni Association page on Facebook you have certainly seen the large collection of pictures from the Summer Workshop throughout the years. However, you may remember that the numbers of delegates were much larger when you attended the workshop. That is one of the obstacles this organization is trying to help the IASC overcome.

The IASC Summer Workshop has been held every year since 1952. Colleges and Universities around the State of Illinois have been home to the workshop since its inception. The first Summer Workshop was held at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Some of the other locations have been: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Monticello Seminary (now Lewis & Clark Community College), McKendree College, Rockford College, and Millikin University.

We would like to hear your memories of the IASC Summer Workshop throughout the years!  Please use the comment section below to share your memories.

  1. Brian Henderson's "Going on a Lion Hunt" I was just camping this weekend thinking of all of the great songs we sang! I think that was my favorite. These camps were so enriching and fun...great times!

  3. Jenn - you are probably thinking of Darin Henderson who went to J.D. Darnall H.S. (Geneseo). I know that he used to lead "Going On A Lion Hunt" most of the time I staffed with him at Summer Workshop. However, your mixing of the names is because there was Brian Holtz, and Brian Campbell who also went to the same high school around the same time. Thanks for the comment!
