Do you have plans for Fall Break? Join the Venturing Crew for fall break to the St Louis City Museum, Current River and Jacks Fork

Join the Venturing Crew as we travel to St Louis to visit the City Museum for a day of exploring the unexpected. City Museum is a hundred-year-old warehouse in downtown St. Louis in which artists have repurposed the pieces of old cities to build miles of tunnels, slides, climbers, bridges, and castles. There are secret passages and grand galleries. Playgrounds and ball pits. A circus and a train. A rooftop school bus and a Ferris wheel.

We will then travel to Two Rivers Campground where the crystal clear Current River meets the Jacks Fork and flows past the campground.

We will spend a day canoeing each river and sit around the camp fire at night playing games "Mafia", eating extreme S'mores and telling stories.

On the last day we break camp and head for home but not before stopping at Lambert's Cafe, the home of the flying rolls where we will eat a hearty brunch and try not to get hit with a hot buttery roll.

We will leave campus Friday October 8th around 6pm and return Tuesday October 12 around 3pm.

Sign up tables will be in Ridgway starting Tuesday Sept 28th and the cost will be $75

The UE Music Conservatory is pleased to launch a Dual Enrollment partnership with EVSC this year. Fifteen EVSC high school students are enrolled in UE’s Fundamentals of Music Course with Consortium Instructor Ross Erickson. Students participate in the class from their high school during their enrichment period via synchronous online media while Prof. Erickson teaches from UE. This initiative is made possible in part through a generous gift from the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana. Funds from the Arts Council grant are being used to offset tuition costs for select students.
