This summer, our middle school youth will enjoy the Flambeau River Ramble, led by Camp Amnicon. The Flambeau is said to be one of the nation’s finest canoeing rivers. It is a great introduction to whitewater canoeing! Dates will be announced in the fall of 2018.
During the school year, we often find ourselves playing night games at church, serving at places like 2nd Harvest, and having adventures like our annual canoe day trip. Check the online church calendar for upcoming events!
