REGISTRATION DEADLINE | Deeper: Rising 9th-10th Grade Backpacking Trip
It’s time to go Deeper! West Side Youth is excited to lead a backpacking retreat in Vermont for our incoming 9th-graders and 10th-graders. We pray this will be a unique opportunity for 9th-graders to form bonds as they head into high school, and for 10th-graders to prepare a place for those who come after them.
For all youth, we trust this will be a journey to step away from the world for a few days and dive into who God is as they trek the peaks of Vermont.
