❤️ Love First: Join Calizonia at SPEC 2026!
Hi PSI Families!
It is officially time to get excited! We are gearing up for the highlight of the summer: SPEC (SPECTACULAR) 2026 at Graceland University. This year’s theme is "Love First," and we can’t wait to see our youth lead the way in living out that message through a week of sports, arts, worship, and lifelong friendships.
Whether your teen is a SPEC veteran or this is their first time heading to Lamoni, this is a week that truly changes lives. Here is everything you need to know to get them there:
🗓️ The Details

Note on Cost: We want every single youth to be there! If help is needed, please contact me directly. There are scholarships provided by SPEC and other ways to get the cost covered. Don’t let the price tag be a barrier!
