Spring Service Blitz
Saturday May 3, 2014 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
You will notice that our trip prices have increased a small amount for this summer. This change reflects a change in the price of the organizations that we are going through. We want everyone who wants to go on any of our trips to be able to go without cost being a deterrent, however we recognize that the cost can sometimes be prohibitive. With this in mind we want you to know about our Spring Service Blitz that will happen as our yearly fundraiser for our summer trips. Through this fundraiser a student may raise part or even all of their trip costs in one day of work. You will receive more details about this fundraiser closer to time but please go ahead and put this date on your family calendar. New this year is that if your child plans on attending our Daytona mission trip then this day of local service is a prerequisite for going. Again, more details will follow soon but please mark this date on your calendar accordingly.
Wilderness Trail
Wednesday June 25, 2014 – Wednesday July 2, 2014
A backpacking ministry located in southwest Virginia. They use being in the woods for a week as a way to lead students into a place where they can escape distraction and focus on their relationship with the world and with God. The backpacking part is overnight hiking, carrying everything you need in a pack. It means setting up a different camp every night and then hiking to a new camp the following day.
There is no experience necessary. They provide everything and instruct in all areas. If you are out of shape, you can do it. If you’re an avid backpacker, you won’t be disappointed. For more information visit www.wtrail.com.
This trip is for rising 9th – high school seniors. The cost is $330 with a $50 deposit. Checks can be made out to Boone UMC, with trip name and child’s name in the MEMO line. Permission slip required. Only 40 slots available.
