AcroFest is coming!

Over a week has passed since the conclusion of Fall Tournament 2022, which ended with Forest Lake and Hinsdale winning the women’s volleyball bracket and Sunnydale and Maplewood winning the men’s soccer bracket. Just as the excitement settles, AcroFest appears on  the horizon.

This year, Union College is hosting AcroFest. This results in many guests and schools brought together on campus. AcroFest focuses on acro gymnastics. Participants for this upcoming event come from all sides of the United States. From east to west and north to south, no one is left out. Adventist colleges, universities and high schools gather together at Union in order to show off their skills and hard work. 

For this event, great clinician figures in their respective fields will be present for AcroFest in order to help people improve their skills such as sports acrobatics, tumbling, tossing and more. Every year the theme for AcroFest changes. This year, the theme is “Look up — SMILE!” which was taken from the Bible verse Luke 21:28.

The schools that will take part of this year’s AcroFest are: Andrews University (Michigan), Antillean Adventist University (Puerto Rico), Bass Memorial Academy (Mississippi), Chisholm Trail Academy (Texas), Collegedale Academy (Tennessee), Fletcher Academy (North Carolina), Georgia-Cumberland Academy (Georgia), Highland Academy (Tennessee), Highland View Academy (Maryland), Indiana Academy (Indiana), Madison Academy (Tennessee), Midland Adventist Academy (Kansas), Ozark Adventist Academy (Arkansas), Peterson's Gym (Texas), Southern Adventist University (Tennessee), Southwestern Adventist University (Texas), Spencerville Adventist Academy (Maryland), Sunnydale Adventist Academy (Missouri), Thunderbird Adventist Academy (Arizona), Tulsa Adventist Academy (Oklahoma), Union College (Nebraska), Upper Columbia Academy (Washington) and Washington Adventist University (Maryland).
