Confirmation Pilgrimage to the UK
23 June 2007 to 29 June 2007
Every other year, we offer this trip for our recently confirmed youth. This trip is a pilgrimage in every sense
of the word - a journey inward and out for our young people. Based out of London, we will explore the Church of England and our place in the worldwide Anglican Communion. Our journey will begin in Canterbury, continue through the history of our Church in London and Oxford, and end with looking at how the Church exists today in
a diverse and different culture than our own. We will have fundraising events throughout the spring and other gatherings
as specified below.
Estimated Trip Cost Before Fundraising:
Check back on 1/16/2007.

Outreach Camp
Monday, August 27 to Friday, 31 August 2007
9am-3pm
Extended day options available (8am-5pm)
This will be our second year off Outreach Camp at St. Mary's. This is a wonderful week of fun, fellowship, learning,
and service. Each day we gather together over games and other activities and learn about a specific topic such as hunger,
homelessness, and health care. We then venture out each afternoon for some hands on time reaching out to these specific
concerns. In 2006 we spent time in the Shaw Neighborhood in DC, at AFAC's food warehouse, at the Arlington Pediatic
Clinic and Arlington Free Clinic, to name a few. This year we hope to expand out West and learn more about rural poverty,
as well. Ask any campers from last year, Outreach Camp is a blast!
Estimated Cost for Camp:
$75
