This week's camp has something for everyone! Mr. Peter's Multi-sport and games camp included flag football, pin protection, dodgeball, and more! The kids are having a blast playing the games while learning valuable lessons in sportsmanship. #ucathunder #ucasummercamp

We had another faithful crew to fill the float at our second parade of the season, the Lakeville Pan-O-Prog Grand Parade. 😂🎶Thank you to all of our awesome student, parent, and staff volunteers who brought their smiling faces and spread joy and faith (and candy!) along the way. We had a blast jamming to the music and enjoying the camaraderie. 👏The crowds were cheering us on, and we were so thankful for this opportunity to showcase UCA to the people of Lakeville. #ucathunder

✝️🙏Summer Bible Camp at UCA brought in our Elementary Chaplain, Pastor Ashley, to guide students through a week of fun games, songs, daily memory verses, a missionary story, and a true story from God’s word will be taught every day as we learn how to apply biblical truth to our lives! 🎉This was such a fun week filled with excitement for God’s Word! #ucathunder #ucasummercamps

This is what it takes to get our network of phones reconnected! Thanks to Mrs. Hohnstadt and our team from Comcast, we'll be back online soon!

🚚📦 Yesterday was filled with so much generosity and community. We are so grateful for every single person who came to help us move. We had representation from current students and parents, current and incoming staff, alumni, board and cabinet members, legacy school community members, and numerous Hillside Church and Cedar Valley Church staff members. ⛈️People even stuck it out through the downpour at the end of the day! 💜Words cannot express our gratitude! Thank you for all the support you have given and continue to give to UCA. #ucathunder

Your fearless leaders are sorting out the last-minute details for moving day tomorrow. The lower school office space is already being renovated for Hillside Church, so we are working in makeshift offices. But tomorrow we'll be ready to give information and answer questions... look for us in the bright pink shirts! We are so excited about the transition and UCA's new beginning! We hope you will join us tomorrow to help relocate the school. Current families received an email today with more details and information. We appreciate your support! Let’s unite and make it a great day! #ucathunder

🎆 Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 Wishing everyone a joyful and safe Independence Day! As we celebrate the birth of our nation, let's remember the values of freedom, liberty, and courage that define our country. We hope you enjoy the fireworks, festivities, and time with loved ones.

✅ Challenge: to fit an entire school's worth of technology into one classroom...challenge accepted! 🖥️ 🔌 Mrs. Nerdahl's old classroom has become the staging area for all of the monitors, projectors, Chromebooks, computer towers, and miscellaneous technology hardware from the lower school. It's pretty impressive to see it all in one space! #ucathunder

🚧 Some disassembly required! 🪛 🔨🔩 Dr. Morrison and others have taken on the task of dismantling enough lockers for our middle schoolers to use at the new building. 📦 🚚 One step at a time, UCA is preparing for the big move! #ucathunder

All the details! 🪛🔧 As we continue to "take apart" our school, we are so grateful for every person involved. This caliber of project needs everyone's skills and brainpower to manage the details and provide the muscle.🧠 💪 🖥️ 🔉The latest items to come down have been focused on technology—every classroom's projectors, monitors, whiteboards, etc.- as well as the speaker system in the gym. 🚚 Step by step, we are getting closer to moving day! #ucathunder

⚽️ Kickin' It Into Gear! ⚽️ Our youngsters have taken advantage of the dry days after Monday’s rain-out. This year’s youth soccer camp is hosted by our new boys varsity coach, Rob Carpentier, along with a talented group of our high school boys and girls players helping him out.🏅 Our campers are enjoying an exciting week of skill-building, teamwork, and fun. They have the opportunity to learn from the best, improve their game, and make new friends on the field. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this camp a fantastic success. Go Thunder! ⚽️🎉 #ucathunder #ucaathletics #ucasummercamp

✝️ 💜 United Christian Academy students reach out to our community and give back in a way that shows God’s love in action. We aim to encourage students to use their time, talents, and resources to glorify God. 🤝 🍽️ Twice a year, we hold an all-school Missions and Service Day. Students use the full day to rally around various service projects that bless the greater communities and our world. Many hands gather to make blankets, assemble care packages for the homeless, pack meals, and so much more. 🌎 We also provide opportunities for our upperclassmen to serve and love others locally and globally. On the mission trips, they immerse themselves in culture and serve communities by partnering with local organizations to enhance pre-existing ministries. As students fundraise and then train together, they build strong team relationships that deepen their relationship with God and allow them to bond with people within the community they serve. #ucathunder #ucamissions

🏀 🙌 It's Homegrown Hoops time! This camp is a favorite among our students. Boys and girls of all ages get to hit the gym to learn and focus on their basketball skills—and with none other than Coach Palmer and his fantastic group of helpers! An exciting week for sure! #ucathunder #homegrownhoopsmn

This week, we have opportunities to see classroom and office spaces at our new building. Both staff and families stopped by today to take a peek! 🧩 There are lots of moving pieces and lots of changes happening! #ucathunder
