Through the years it developed into a monstrous sports event. SPEC is sponsored by the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and it is held at Graceland College at the beginning of August every year. SPEC's purpose is to bring together youth from all cultures and teach them about the gospel of Jesus Christ and how to enjoy life. Among the sports there, you can play any two team sports which are volleyball, basketball, soccer, and softball. There are also individual sports you may participate in.
Examples are tennis, track, swimming, wrestling, ping-pong.
Also, brand new to SPEC this year is Knowledge Bowl which tests your academic skills. I would like to share with you my experiences at Spectacular. I've been two years in a row, but I'd like to share my first year with you. There were campers there from Germany, France, Australia, Tahiti, the different regions of Africa, and other areas of the world. We left on July 31 early in the morning and arrived at Lamoni that evening.
