Text Box: What are you doing July 26 – August 2nd?? Have you been hearing about how much fun the summer trip is going to be and been jealous? Well, there is no reason for you to be jealous: SPOTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE! Currently, there are seven Trinity members going to Wilderness Canoe Base. Our goal is to have a total of sixteen, enough to fill two full canoe trips (which go out in groups of eight). If I have peeked your interest, here is some more information about the trip: § We will be going with youth from two other churches: Zion Lutheran and King of Glory in Loveland. Prior to the trip, we will be doing several day events in order to get to know one another and practice our canoeing abilities. § We will leave early on the 26th, flying into the Twin Cities. There we will rent vans and drive the remaining six hours to Wilderness. § The first two days will be spent onsite, helping with reconstruction projects after a fire last May burnt 60% of their property. While onsite, we will also worship and do team building activities. § We will then go on a three-night, four-day canoe trip in the Boundary Waters Wilderness. For the canoe portion of the trip, we will break up into groups of eight, in accordance with wilderness regulations. § Upon our return, we will drive back to the twin cities, spend then night at a church in the Twin Cities, and return on August 2nd. Depending on which flight we can get, there may be time for a stop at Mall of America. Interested? Please contact Andy or Erin, we are happy to answer any questions that you may have. If you decide you want to go, all we need from you is a completed information page and a $150 deposit—and as our next fundraisers come around, a helping hand.
