Come and see what were all about.  Children in grades 1-8 are invited to join us.  Our year is loaded with fun, fellowship, guest speakers, camping, harvest party, ice fishing, bake sale, crafts, candle-making, sledding, bowling, ...all in the Light of Christ.  The list goes on! 

Come and try it out!  Invite a friend, too.

Our monthly meetings are held the 1st Thursday of each month, with lots of special events planned in between.  Annual dues are $15.00/child.  Pioneers in grades 3-8 will make a one time purchase for a handbook that they can use through their years in the program ($10.00).

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!
