RETREAT
Our retreat will be a service retreat to allow students that couldn't attend our
Summer Mission Trip to Smithers, West Virginia, a taste of what that week was like.

SUMMER TRIPS

WORK - REVOLUTION of LOVE 2010 - www.revolutionoflove.net
We have also decided to make some changes to our summer trip this year. Our students have found the summer trip to be a highlight of their year and for many reasons- growing friendships, meeting new people, serving, experiencing new things, road trip, etc. This year we are changing the trip. We like to think of it as one summer trip with a month break in the middle.
Our service aspect will be a 4 day (long weekend) in Lake County with a gathering of over 200 youth from area churches. The purpose of this trip is for students to realize they can serve anywhere (even at home) and to make connections with other teenage christians from their own schools.

CAMP- NTS CAMP www.ntscamp.com
We will be travelling to Houghton College in New York state for a week long camp. At this camp, students will be challenged, as they were in Smithers, to grow as Christians, look for ways God is revealing Himself and go home to reveal Him to others. This camp experience will connect students with teenagers from around the country and fulfill our roadtrip quota. It will be a life-changing experience. You can download a deposit form for the double trip (here).
