Wilderness Road Junior Convention – ages 9-12 – This Jr. Convention is an annual one-day Christian competition event held in late  September/early October in London, KY. IWCA teenagers also attend Jr. Convention to serve as volunteers.

Cumberland Valley Regional Student Convention – ages 13 & up – This is an exciting week-long Christian competition event held each year in March in Bagdad, KY. Students participate in competitions each day and attend inspiring “rallies,” similar to revival or camp meeting services, each evening.

Christian schools from across Kentucky and several other states attend these Student Conventions each year. Students have the opportunity to explore new interests and develop God-given talents as they prepare for rigorous competition in well over 100 different academic, art, photography, athletic, music, and platform events. Medals are awarded for 1st through 6th place winners in each event, and overall awards are given to the top 3 schools in each category.

Teens who win 1st-6th place in any event at the Cumberland Valley RSC have the option of advancing to the International Student Convention (ISC) in May. ISC is held in a different location each year and is attended by Christian schools from across the globe.

Participation in Student Convention is expected of every student age 9 & up at IWCA. We believe participation in these special events builds skill, discipline, and Godly character while teaching valuable lessons in commitment, determination, leadership, teamwork, and so much more. IWCA students dedicate time to working on their Convention event entries throughout the school year.

There are costs involved in participating in the Student Convention Program, and IWCA conducts fundraisers and solicits donations throughout the school year to help with covering these costs for our school. Families with students of convention age should expect to participate in convention fundraising and to help cover convention some costs for their student(s).
