Help us plan the journey to SPECTACULAR 2026

Great news—planning for SPECTACULAR 2026 is already underway!

However, given the current political climate, we are rethinking our usual approach to travel. In past years, we have rented a bus and travelled to Graceland alongside the Michigan delegation. This year, however, we are exploring the option of air travel rather than bus travel.

One possible plan would involve parent drop-off at Toronto Pearson Airport, flying to Kansas City or Des Moines, Iowa, and then travelling by bus to Graceland. This approach would allow us to clear customs while still on Canadian soil. We recognize that this option would require additional logistical planning, including arrangements for chaperones, airport pickups, and ground transportation which is why we are reaching out now.

At this stage, we are not asking for a commitment. What we would like to know is who might be interested in attending SPEC this July, so we can better assess numbers as we continue planning. Please note that mission centre support will be available to help with costs.

If this is something you or your youth might want to be part of, we would love to hear from you by Feb 19th. Please send responses to Vonda at [email protected]
