Foundry Youth Camping Trip – 2010
Parent info. Sheet



Dear Parents,

We’re so excited to have your student camping with us this weekend – it’s going to be a great experience. I want to make sure you have all of the information you need to know about the trip:

- We will be tent camping at Champoeg State Park, which is 6 miles SE of Newberg along the Willamette River. Restrooms/changing areas and showers are available.
- We will arrive at the park around 1:30 in the afternoon on Sunday, (those riding down with me will leave Tigard a little before 1:00,) and will wrap up our time together at 11:00 am on Monday, at which time they can be picked up or I can transport them home, (whichever you’ve indicated on the permission slip.)
- Boys and Girls will have separate tents and changing areas, buddy system will be used for activities and there will be an adult chaperone at each tent site to ensure the safety of all students.
- Students are being asked to bring clothes which are modest and they don’t mind getting dirty/wet, and to wear sturdy shoes since we will be outside and hiking.
- We will be having Hot dogs for dinner, s’mores for dessert, and pancakes for breakfast. Feel free to send snacks or alternative foods if your student has special dietary needs.



General schedule of events:

Sunday afternoon: Group games, Ultimate Frisbee, scavenger hunt, hiking opportunity etc.
Sunday evening: dinner, campfire, group activities, games, quiet time.
Monday morning: breakfast, clean up campsite, small group hike and chat time.



If there’s anything information I’ve missed, or you have any questions please contact me at: 503-537-8489, or called2shepherd2@gmail.com




Blessings-
Katie Stevens, Pastor to Youth and Children at the Foundry Community

Unplugged

(click on the above picture for a larger view.)

This week we talked about keeping our priorities in line by making sure to spend time with God to recharge. It won't matter if we do everything in the right order or the right way if we are too exhausted or our energy stores are too depleted to do our best.

Suggestions for refueling:
-journaling
-taking a walk
-music
-quiet time
-drawing/art
-straight up prayer :)
-remembering that God always hears us and is with us, even when it feels like there's no time for everything we've crammed into our schedules.
