Our summer girl’s trips this year were filled with beauty, challenge and sisterhood!
Our ninth and tenth grade girls canoed and camped in the beautiful Boundary Waters Canoe Area at the Minnesota-Canada border. Part of the beauty of this trip is that each girl is able to see that their own strength, infused with God’s grace, is able to accomplish more than they thought they could, all while serving one another and having fun!
The seventh and eighth grade girls went glamping and hiking in Upstate New York! The campsite at Stony Brook State Park was surrounded by gorges and waterfalls, and we hiked at ‘the Grand Canyon of the East’ at Letchworth State Park.
Our boys summer trips were full of adventure and brotherhood! A key Bible passage was Luke 6:45 “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart.”
Virginia Backpacking (7th grade): We “lived in a cloud” all week, but it never rained heavily! Our group time was great, including some excellent Bible study.
Algonquin Canada Canoeing (8th grade): We have a new “lava cake” recipe (brownie mix with oil but no eggs). Weather was calm until the last day, allowing us to jump off cliffs twice.
Wyoming Backpacking (9th grade): The Wyoming trip is one-half road trip and one-half backpacking.
Kentucky Mission Trip (10th grade): The project was to re-floor an entire house in Pikeville, KY, and we enjoyed the surrounding mountains.
