EVER WANTED TO GO ON A MISSION TRIP?
But you have only one or two youth in your congregation, or a
small group, or no one to take them?
Well, here is your chance!
GLOBAL
Mound Ridge
Camp and Retreat Center
Senior High Mission Trip
June 22 - 28
Have you ever wanted to go on a mission trip where you
experienced life in a different way? Would you like to
experience it with other youth in the presbytery? This is an
opportunity for the youth in our area to go on a meaningful
adventure where we will internalize complex issues surrounding
hunger and poverty that many in our world face each day.
Participants will leave with an awareness of our role as a
global citizen and with ideas on how to create change.
This is an interactive educational
simulation that includes powerful and surprising situations that
will open our eyes to the world beyond our borders. Through
experiencing conditions that arise daily for millions of people,
we will become aware of the effects of poverty and hunger. We
will feel the discomfort and frustration of facing difficult
life choices—how will I feed my family?
Throughout the program, we will
work to provide for our “family” by tending gardens and
livestock, working in the village community, buying supplies
from the international market, and cooking cultural meals with
appropriate technology. Each night the family will come together
and sleep in representative housing, such as Mozambique, the
Tibetan region of China or the Mississippi Delta region of the
United States.
Join other Presbyterian youth as we
travel to Heifer Ranch in Perryville, AR to feed your mind… take
action… end hunger. Arrive at Mound Ridge Camp and Retreat
Center on Sunday June 22nd Depart for Heifer Ranch International
Monday June 23rd Register early; there is space for 16 youth
(chaperones are provided through Mound Ridge). Minimum grade
level – 9th grade Register early camp session is limited to 16.
