Your youth in GRADE 7 to GRADE 12 are NOT going to want to miss this event!
We are taking them on a wilderness experience, hence the name of this event, in BEAUTIFUL Clearwater! We are surrounded by forest, lakes, rivers, mountains and waterfalls! It will be a weekend they will not forget!
They will camp out in tents on the church(boys) and pastors' properties (girls) which are within walking distance of each other! Both are surrounded by forest. The main events and meals will be hosted at the church with the exception of the excursions to hike, tour waterfalls or go to the lake (We will have some drivers available, however, we would appreciate any youth leaders/pastors assistance with transport to these activities--located within Clearwater-- on the Saturday afternoon)
There will be loads of fun, worship and ministry for your youth to be involved in, it's an awesome opportunity to make new friends too!!
We have a several speakers, inlcuding BC district's very own Allen deJong! Alongside him, we have a few local (to BC!) special speakers, muscians and leaders doing workshops, activities and just being present for you!
Register HERE
COST: $95/person* includes meals, snacks, your camping space, all events, and a t-shirt!
*youth leaders are half price when bringing youth, every 10 youth registered will be allowed one free leader-- leaders also recieve a special t-shirt (please notify us in the registration if you are registering as a leader- then email info@clearwaternewlife.com for the discount code)
FYI: It is NOT a requirement to have a leader bring youth! We do encourage youth leaders to join their youth, however, we understand that it might not work out for them to bring the youth, parents can drop off youth, meet the team and then return to pick them up on Sunday afternoon too!
