We have been looking forward to this weekend all year- Winter Blast! Sitka Young Life will host a middle school and a high school lock-in starting on Thursday, February 23rd and then follow that with a lock-in for high school students Friday, February 24th. These events are an amazing chance for kids to share experiences, make memories, build friendships and hear about Jesus. Camp is aimed at kids who would not come to church. Please pray that God would speak through all of camp and especially during the club talks and our cabin times. We want to make camp available to all and we have found that many high school kids have a hard time paying. To make winter camp accessible to all students we are not charging for kids to attend this event. Camp costs $50 per student, so if you would like join us in making camp available to all kids by making a donation please click HERE. For more details click HERE
Last year we had 45 middle school kids and 55 high school kids come to Winter Blast. We flew up two people to come do program- which means- design and facilitate games and humor that breaks down walls, creates shared memories, and helps people bond. This year we have the an all star crew of Young Life staff coming in from Anchorage and Fairbanks. Our speaker this year is a former Young Life area director in Texas and now travels around speaking in public schools. Each lock-in will have 4 times where we gather as a large group to gather for games and a message. Following each message, students will have a chance to break into small cabin groups and talk about how the message applies to their own lives. Camp is a great time where God really works. Please pray for safety and that God really moves in the hearts of these kids.
