Canyonville Christian Academy private boarding high school

Private boarding school Canyonville Christian Academy activities department decided to make the game of basketball a little more interesting.

A group of donkeys were invited as special guests allowing our students to ride them while playing a game of basketball. As the donkeys were brought in by their riders, shouts of laughter could be heard in the gymnasium as one of our students Serge Sandrali, laughing himself, tried to “guide” his donkey into center court.

For about an hour and half, the girls challenged the boys to a basketball game played while trying to commandeer a stubborn donkey and make a basket from it’s back. In the end, it was the Varsity boys basketball team, with their competitive edge that ended up winning the night’s game of fun donkey basketball.

The campus was a buzz with preparation for the event. Mrs. Jami Burkhert and other staff were planning and setting up for the banquet. Boys were deciding who they were going to ask, while girls were talking about their beautiful dresses and showed them to teachers and faculty.

Finally, the long awaited day arrived! Although the Oregon weather was not very cooperative and it rained, the students still walked out from in front of the girls’ dorm, Hinn Hall, and had a wonderful time.

All the boys looked handsome and the girls were stunning.

Many pictures were taken. Then, the Juniors and Seniors went with several faculty and staff to Grants Pass to eat a lovely dinner of seafood and prime rib at R-Haus, which is along Rogue River.

Enrollment Climbing

Tags: Boarding School, Canyonville Christian Academy, Christian Private School

Comments: No

Over the past three years, the campus populations of CCA has climbed over 30% to more than 120 students.

Although enrollment is sometimes affected by graduating class size (the class of 2010 had 60 students), the trend is very positive.

Current enrollment is beginning to push against dorm and classroom capacities, but this is a great problem to have.

April Happenings

Comments: No

Spring break flew by for Canyonville Christian Academy students and teachers.

Everyone had a good time going different places and doing different things. This year, there were two separate trips. One large group flew to Los Angeles and enjoyed places like Disneyland, California Adventure, food, shopping, the beach, etc. Another group enjoyed a quieter time at Shelter Cove in Humboldt County, California which was relaxing and enjoying home cooked meals by Mrs. Botsford and Ms. DeLisle and the beautiful black sands beach. They then drove through the California wine country down Hwy. 101 to go to Six Flags theme park near San Francisco, California.

Students are now back and ready for the final two months of school.

We start April off with “Spiritual Emphasis Week” with former teacher Dave Nickodemus as our guest speaker. He was always a favorite teacher for many students and will surely have a lot to say to our students.

christian academy holds iron chef competition

An Iron Chef Competition was held this past Saturday in CCA’s gym to see which group of students could cook the best meal!

CCA Activities - Iron Chef Competition

Students teamed up with their peers and chose an adult mentor. Then, they planned out the menus for their three-course meals and went shopping together to buy the ingredients. Next, the judging panel assembled, which included two of our boys’ deans, Josh Botsford and Mike Stansberry, and two of our cooks. Finally, it was time to reveal the secret ingredient… cheese!

The students were given a variety of cheeses and at least one type had to be used in every course. They were given an allotted time for each course and were scored by the judges for creativity, plating, taste, and use of the secret ingredient.

Spring break is in the air!

The weather is warming up with a lot more sunny days here in Oregon. Track season has started here at this boarding school and these high school students are getting into competitive condition every day after school. Tennis players are also working hard on the tennis courts to see how far they can make it this season.

For spring break, many of our students are flying to Los Angeles to go to Disney Land, California Adventure, the beach and other area attractions. I’m sure they will go to a mall or two for some serious shopping!
