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. We'll gather at the end for a festive Ethiopian meal and crafts together at church.

Family Camp 2024

This event is full.

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.

Friday, June 28 @ 4pm - Sunday @ 2pm

Our luggage and supplies are driven out to camp while the rest of us hike the easy 1/2 mile trail to Adizokan Village. Luggage delivery out will be available on Friday at 4pm & 7:30pm and Sunday 10am & 2pm. Those choosing to stay at the cabins may consider bikes and/or wagons for the trek back and forth. Showers, flush toilets, electricity, and sauna are available at the main lodge. Our schedule is flexible and family-focused.
