Wander
An advent adventure: Ethiopian style.
Angels and shepherds; kings and gifts. A pregnant pilgrim seeking shelter. Who will offer welcome? This is the journey of Christmas. The holy child within our midst.
WANDER is a unique advent adventure for Calvary families and folks of all ages honoring the Mexican tradition of La Posada. This. year, we will journey through Whittier homes & parks engaging in Ethiopian games and stories. Come in warm clothes to brave the outdoors for at least part of the evening.

Family camp takes place at a lovely group camping area right on the shores of Lake Superior. It is truly the best of both worlds with comfortable wilderness accommodations from cabins to furnished tents, to staking your own tent. Food is delicious and prepared by campfire. Coffee is ample. And, miles of beach access, the fellowship and beauty can't be matched.
