    June 24-30 - FOURTH ANNUAL Taos, New Mexico Backpacking Trip (High Adventure opportunity): This is open to all ages, and by far the most REAL way to experience the Trail Life USA program in depth. Trailman will find God, and themselves, on this trip in a way that cannot be done through other summer camps or home activities. They will push past old limits and replace them with resiliency, all the while under the supervision and protection of trained leaders. They will build pride in self through their accomplishments over the week, and unlock new potential. They will learn to seek God in his creation and find Him in the bonds of new community and fellowship with other Trailmen. They will make memories that will last for a lifetime. There is no additional fee for this trip dividing the fuel/gas costs for the drive plus any spending money they wish to bring for the road.

  • Among Us Game Night @The Park - Dinner Provided

    Description:

    If you have never played Among Us, it is a whodunit video game where one (or more) players are assigned to be Impostors and sneakily get rid of the other crewmates without revealing their identity. The crewmates work on accomplishing tasks while watching their backs for 'sus' (suspicious) behavior and voting on who they think is an Impostor. Michael and Stephanie created a SUPER FUN, in-person version of this game to play at the church building. I *highly* recommend that you attend if your family is available! The Park Christian Community Church, our charter org, has invited both troops to participate in any summer events on their calendar. Please let us know if you're planning to attend below.

(Please limit the amount that you bring to approximately a gallon sized ziplock bag or shoebox of individual pieces, no pre-built structures.) The adults will be coming up with creative challenges, and the Navs have the choice to compete or help out the adults.
