Youth Canoe Trip

As previously mentioned, we are planning a youth canoe trip this year. We will be heading to Algonquin park on Labour Day weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) Aug 31-Sept. 2. We are able to take up to 16 people with us on this trip, first come first serve.

For those of you who don't know exactly what a canoe trip involves, read the following.

We will all set of with 2 people in a canoe. We spend a few hours each day canoeing across the lakes. We will also be "portaging" (walking with our canoes and our backpacks of stuff) between lakes. Each night we are there we will be camping in a different spot. There will be lots of time for swimming, perhaps some fishing, campfires and some good eating. It's a lot of fun and a great way to take a holiday before school starts again.

In order to book canoes and camp sites we need to know as soon as possible if you are planning to come. Please let us know NO LATER than AUGUST 17th if you would like to come. You can call (905) 262-1859, email (briananderinrowaan@yahoo.ca), talk to us at church/youth, facebook us or reply to this post. The sooner you can let us know, the better.

Just a reminder that there will be no youth this week. Stay tuned for details on next week!

Frisbee Golf

Golf + Frisbee - Golf Ball - Holes + Fun + Trees and other such obstacles = Frisbee Golf.

And yes, we will be playing frisbee golf at youth this week. We will meet at church at 7:30, head over to Queenston for a bon and epic game of frisbee golf, and then spend the rest of the night at Nate Dirks house (258 Niven Road). Please have your rides pick you up from Nate's.

Just a note: Youth next week will be cancelled due to the number of people at camp and on holidays. We will resume again on Friday, August 17th.
