BAJA VISION
Since the inception of the Tecate trip, TKA has worked with Pastor Sergio Gomez and his organization, Baja Vision. His son, Seyr, has come alongside him to learn the ministry. Sergio and Seyr select the families in the community, from among those who are referred by local churches, who will meet the qualifications to have a house built. Baja Vision has many ministries around Tijuana beyond house building including a hospital and a hospice. Sergio and Seyr visited the ranch Tuesday.

REVEILLE
The bugle wake up is a tradition in Tecate. Mr. Chris Haugen, one of TKA's founders, played for years and was known for "Yes, We Have No Bananas." TKA math teacher, Howell Shaw, has continued the tradition the last two years with an extensive repertoire including many themes from the Star Wars movies, La Bamba, We Will Rock You, ¡Olé!, Hallelujah, Theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark, and many more!
BARNABAS BOARD
The Barnabas Board is where anyone can leave a note of encouragement for any other person, student or adult, on the Tecate Team. In the Bible, “Barnabas” wasn’t his birth name (Joseph was), it was his nickname meaning “Son of Encouragement” (Acts 4:36). This rather obscure Bible character was so encouraging that it became his name.
TALENT SHOW
In the past, the talent show was a regular occurrence; it was revived two years ago to critical acclaim! This third year, it returned tonight with 12 unique acts including some original poetry, jokes, riddles, singing, trumpet playing, dancing, juggling and special performances by Sergio Gomez playing the accordian and the kitchen crew performing an original dance to "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Eat It."
