Hey there everyone. Mudblast begins today!
Meet at the church at 4:30 and don't forget to bring a sleeping bag, pillow, blanket, clothes for indoors and outdoors. Clothes for canoeing, clothes to get wet in. It's gonna be a great weekend!
Also don't forget to bring along a bag supper or snacks that will keep you going. There will not be supper served at Camp Wildwood! (only a late night snack)
That's right. This year we're heading off once again (you'd think we'd learn from the past :-) to conquer another mountain and a mighty river!
Looking for some details? We thought you would be.
Cost: ~ $260.00 or whatever it says on the forms (I seem to have misplaced mine).
Can I come?: Sure! As long as you're 15 years of age or older (and still in the public school system).
Want to see more pictures? A few of us have visited the area over the years. Check out our pictures!
It's one full week of Solid Rock stuff starting on Wednesday night with our last SRY Wednesday night of the season. We're saying hello, waving goodbye, talking about wisdom, timing, and why God never gets bored.
This Wednesday night is also the deadline for your Mudblast registration forms and money. Mudblast is an event three years in the making so come along this weekend (May 25-27) at Camp Wildwood and have a great time. (it might even be warm this weekend!). Dress warm, bring some mini sticks, a little money for snacks and get ready for alot of fun.
All those going to the Group Workcamp this summer are reminded that we have a meeting on Wednesday at 5:30 in the parlour.
We also need to know what Sr. High (age 15 and above) are interested in our SRY Challenge to Baxter State Park in Maine. Camping, white-water rafting and awesome hiking are in the mix for this awesome four day adventure on August 16-19. We need your registration and $50 deposit into the church by June 1. Forms are available this week in the SRY.
On Wednesday May 30th the grade 12's are invited to a special night in their honour. We will be starting at 5:30 at the Atkinsons and making our way to other Charlottetown hot spots. Things will wrap up by 9:30 from the church, so dress up abit and bring an empty stomach.
Thanx a ton for such a great effort last week as we prepared over 30 boxes for Corporal Tyler Coady and his squad in Afghanistan. The notes were awesome and all the goods will be much appreciated! We'll take a full group picture this week. See ya on Wednesday!
We're putting together care packages this week for Corporal Tyler Coady and his squad in Afghanistan and these are some things we're looking for:
Magazine's (Reader's Digest, Men's Health), Cans of Tuna, Hard candy (Werther's, Tootsie Rolls, licorice...) Tim Horton's Gift Certificates, Flea Collars (we'll explain), Toilet Paper, Baby Wipes (in travel packs), Gatorade or Crystal light powder.
We'll also be collecting $2 from each youth so we can make sure we have enough stuff to fill 25 shoe box size care packages.
Don't come to the SRY empty handed!
On Wednesday night we're having another classic SRY night where we do something special for folks in need. This time we are putting together care packages and thank-you notes for Corporal Tyler Coady and his squad of soldiers serving in Afghanistan. It's our chance to do something for these amazing people who risk their lives each day so that the people of Afghanistan might have a better future.
The Sr. High will be meeting at the MacKenzie's (59 Warburton Dr, off North River Road) and the Jr. High will be meeting at the church. Please get dropped off and picked up from each location.
