Youth Group
Patriot Days Encampment

Friday, June 13 to Sunday, June 15

Our Youth Group, along with many other youth organizations, will be participating in the annual Patriot Days Encampment at the Daniel Boone Homestead.

For this activity we will be camping out as a group in tents in our own designated area on the homestead grounds. There will be organized activities for youth for the weekend. The list of planned activities is not yet finalized, but as a sample, previous years’ activities have included: Exeter Police K-9 demonstration, volley ball, obstacle course, water balloon toss, foam sword battles, tours of the homestead, blacksmith demonstration, saw mill demonstration, period exhibits, emergency vehicle displays, search and rescue dogs, animal rescue presentations with animals being rehabilitated, crafts, evening movie, dance, outdoor worship, campfire with songs and skits, and more. At our campsite, the youth will be working together to make our own Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and Sunday breakfast.

Tentatively, we will leave the church parking lot on Friday, June 13 at 5:00pm, and return to the church parking lot on Sunday, June 15 at about 11:00am.

The cost is $25 per person for campout.

We are looking for adult chaperones (with appropriate clearances and approval) to go along on the campout, as well.

To register, please contact the church office or Pastor Ben.

The latest revision of the packing list can be found at this Patriot Days Information & Packing List link.
