PEDAL & PADDLE (ENTERING GRADES 8-10)
Would you like to try an exciting outdoor adventure? Do you like biking, canoeing, camping and more? Then this “do it all” trip is for you!

Your travel adventures will also include fun camp activities such as games, campfires, Bible study, team building and more! Come with your youth group, a friend, or by yourself and make friends along the way!
This program is also great for Confirmation groups who want to bond in a new way. If the weeks offered on the schedule don’t work for your Confirmation group, please call. We can possibly find another week—or a custom program—for your group.
We provide all the equipment and staff. Campers are asked to please bring your own helmet and if possible, a bike in good working order. Campers entering this program should be able to ride at least 10 miles a day at a steady pace.
