Canada 2008 is an adventure trip that is designed to
give our current 8th and 9th grade students an opportunity to encounter
God, others and themselves through work projects, mountainous excursions
and a personal time with God. The team will travel to Banff, Alberta,
Canada, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. Through this trip the 8th
and 9th grade students will establish life-long friendships with each
other which will continue as they move into the Senior High Student
Ministry as well as deepening their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Canada Adventure 2008 is a service project and wilderness opportunity.
The students will travel by coach bus to a Christian camp called
Frontier Lodge and assist them in work projects and participate in
wilderness excursions. The options include backpack trips, rock
climbing, repelling, mountain biking, hiking, the Tyrolean traverse over
a canyon, caving, and white water canoeing.
|
| Frontier Lodge is operated
by Chuck and Cindy Bourn who are Christian Missionaries from Wooddale
Church in Minnesota. The students will enjoy many wilderness experiences
in the Canadian Rockies and encounter God in the midst of His creation.
The combination of hard work, breathtaking surroundings, close
fellowship and fun, will unite our 8th & 9th graders together as they
will soon be in 9th and 10th grade shortly after the trip. We will also
have a few of our older senior high students along to help build
relationships and be mentors and disciples of these newly 9th and 10th
grade students. |
