Brandon Cooper
Brandon Cooper Cityview Community Church Unplugged

We are excited to have a long-time attendee of Unplugged take the speakers role at this year's July 4th Unplugged! Pastor Brandon Cooper, from Cityview Community Church, will be leading our Chapel Sessions. As a native of the Chicagoland area—born in Evanston, and raised in Glenview—Brandon has a deep love of the culture and community of this city. He is the fourth of five children and is happy to have his entire family still living in the area. He attended the University of Illinois (Champaign-Urbana), where he studied English Literature, before completing his Master of Divinity at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School with an emphasis on Discipleship-Evangelism. He is the author of A Word to the Wise: Lessons from Proverbs for Young Adults. He and his wife served on the mission field in Bogotá, Colombia for seven years, giving him a deep passion for missions, Latin American culture, and the country where his first two children were born. Brandon and his wife, Amy, have four adorable daughters: Charis, Adiel, Ceely, and Brielle, and a son Callum. He loves literature and music and is an avid soccer enthusiast (Arsenal FC) and a lifelong Chicago sports fan.

Kyle and his wife have three boys, Carson, Parker, and Bryant. He loves watching his beloved Cubs, working out, golfing, and eating deep dish pizza!

What Is Flügstag?

FLÜGSTAG is a family tradition like no other. Get ready to put your creative juices to the test by building your very own FLÜGSTAG (Flying) Machine. We will provide your family with cardboard, tape, paint, and everything else to create a unique flying wonder. One of your family members will don your flying machine and leap off the end of the pier at Conference Point. We score your FLÜGSTAG Machine on creativity, distance in jump, and belly flop. Winning families get an incredible prize! So let's go FLÜGSTAG at this year's Unplugged Family Camp!

Most of your CAMP questions can be answered in these Parent Guide docs.
