SPEC is an annual week-long leadership, sports, music, and arts camp held on the campus of Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa. It is sponsored by the Community of Christ and is attended by approximately 1,200 high school students and staff from around the world. This is the largest gathering of youth in the Community of Christ. The mission of SPECTACULAR is to create a safe, Christ-centered community that encourages young women and men to discover God, their inherent worth, and cultivate and express their giftedness.

This year's theme is "Revolutionary!" The daily themes will be explored through classes, worship, and other activities.
