Summer 2009

I know it seems pretty early to be thinking of next summer...seeing that this summer just ended a little over a month ago, but here at church plans are being made. The youth team deliberated and the youth of this church spoke and our summer trips are set.

Senior high mission trip: Ozark Mountains in Arkansas! Head to the Ozarks and the small town of Booneville to serve local youth through an outreach program called kids club, and to serve others through work projects. Whether it is making a child smile, or putting a new coat of paint on a old house this trip is about doing the work of God. Already several youth have signed up, so sign up today to reserve your spot. Our deadline for sign up is November 7th. A $25 deposit is due by then. Once we know who is going we will discuss fundraising requirements, training, t-shirts, and our adventure activity will be decided. This trip will be from June 13th through the 19th.

Junior high (middle school) trip: Fort Courage! Fort Courage is located near Custer South Dakota and is a camp set up like a pioneer trading post. This rustic camp has a lot to offer. We will do low ropes courses, ride horses, make food over fires, hang out with other youth, worship, have bible study, hike, and do much more! Sign up is by Amy's office and a $25 deposit is due when you sign up. There is no deadline as of yet to sign up. This trip will be July 12th through the 17th.

*Anyone who is interested in scholarships for these trips should contact Amy or the youth board to set up the scholarship. The important thing is that these trips are possible for all the youth in our church.
