There are so many ways to get involved with CAM, and we are excited to share them with you. Check out some of the opportunities we've had in the past for getting involved!

We will be traveling to Brunswick, GA to spend 4 days building with Habitat for Humanity this winter from January 9th - 16th. Brunswick is located on the Atlantic coast, about an hour north of Jacksonville, FL. In Glynn Country there are large pockets of poverty and we get the opportunity to help build housing for some of the local residents. This is our third year going down to Ga.
The trip will be filled on a first come first serve basis so get your applications in ASAP. If you have any questions contact Kelsey Moss at krmoss[at]wisc[dot]edu.
The CAM SIGN-UP DEADLINE is coming up VERY quickly, on this Tuesday Nov. 3rd. If you have not already registered online, please contact Valerie at vryan[at]blackhawkchurch[dot]org. There will only be ONE night of sign-ups at CAM this coming Tuesday; anyone not signed-up with CAM by the end of that night will be responsible for their own rides to the conference.
Dig in your mother/grandma's closet for the ugliest Christmas sweater you can find. You will need to sport this awesome sweater for the CAM Christmas party as we will be doing all kinds of fun things to celebrate the season! We'll have food, stations where you can decorate cookies, make cards, etc..., video games and other fun stuff. This is an event for anyone so invite your friends to the basement of the Regent for a good time before the grind of finals start!
Join us for a three-week series with John Rosensteel, Brandon Ryan, and Matt Metzger entitled, "More Rotten Tomatoes." On Tuesday, Nov. 3, 10, and 17 at 8pm in the Regent basement, we'll be piggy-backing off of the current series at Blackhawk (Rotten Tomatoes) to look at and wrestle with more of the tough questions within our faith.
Many of us struggle with talking to others about our faith and the whole idea of evangelism. We often think it's is for the extrovert, the persuader, the great sales-person. What's more, many of us less have than positive associations with public evangelists, making it hard for us to want to be involved. In this seminar, we will attempt reimagine evangelism as primarily a story telling experience. Our goal is to empower you to talk about your faith in new ways, and be equipped with new ideas to connect friends and family with the story of Jesus.
Taught by Terry Erickson, the director of evangelism at InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.
It's that time again-dance party time! This year's theme is Old Hollywood (black and white). Dust off those classic moves: the white boy, sprinkler, shopping cart, worm, or any moves that actually require skill:) It's going to be awesome!!!!!!
A bus will be making a couple loops to Blackhawk and a few different stops around campus to pick people up for the dance.

Come join us on our annual corn maze trip. We'll be meeting in the Regent parking lot (west of building) at 8pm to carpool our way to Schuster's Playtime Farm and get there around 8.30pm. After navigating and getting lost in the corn maze we'll have a bon fire right afterwards with some hot chocolate and s'mores. Invite your friends and come along to enjoy a day outside at night in the fall!
Are you looking to get spooked before Halloween? We're here for you. Come to our Spookfest and freak out (or laugh...) with us while we watch scary movies like Psycho and a zombie movie. While we're watching you can enjoy some fall treats and fellowship with other spooked out friends you can meet and hang out with. We meet at the basement of the Regent at 8pm.
Join us for a two week series with Tim Mackie entitled, "Kingdom Come: Rediscovering the Mission and Message of Jesus."
On Tuesday, October 13th and 20th, Tim will be exploring the Jewish background and contemporary significance of Jesus of Nazareth, and how he forces us to rethink God, ourselves, and the needs of our world.
On any given Sunday at Blackhawk, there are people at different places in their spiritual journey...and that's great! If you find yourself curious but unconvinced, not yet a follower of Christ, Seeking the Truth might be for you.
It's a place for those who have lots of questions and want a safe place to ask them. Seeking the Truth is a six-week small group experience and will be starting this fall.
