Summertime bring vacations and social events for Miami Christian students and alumni alike.

Beginning in June, students gathered for an overnight lock-in held in the school gymnasium from early evening to 8 a.m the next morning. During a mostly sleepless night, they played various sports and socialized.

In early August, a special event at Rapids Water Park was followed by the schools annual Back to School Bash where students mingle and have a chance to meet the incoming new students.

In addition, some members of the 2013-2014 victorious Varsity Baseball Team participated in the Auburn University team camp, providing individual instruction with the universitys baseball staff that focused on individual as well as team skills. Each player participated in an extensive pro-style workout and was able to play at one of college baseballs best venues.
