Best Week of the Summer: Outreach Week to the Boys Home
Where we will stay
The Boys Home is located in Covington, Virginia. It has a large campus that is located away from the town. It is a beautiful and safe campus with cottages that will be available for us to stay in. We have separate cottages for boys and girls. They have a cafeteria where we will eat almost all of our meals.
How much it will cost
The trip is $550, however money is never a reason a student doesn’t come on a trip with Galilee. We will have fundraisers and scholarships available. Most of the money goes to purchasing supplies to put on the camp and purchasing tickets to the water park for the Boys Home students. The Boys Home doesn’t charge us anything for staying there or eating their food, but we like to make a substantial donation to cover their costs.
Schedule
We will meet Monday, June 27th at 10:00am at Galilee and return early in the afternoon on Saturday July 2nd.
Leadership
We will have our older high school students each take ownership of one of the activities and delegate work to our younger students. It is great learning experience for all of our students. I need parents who are willing to be leaders on this trip. They will help the high school students keep things organized, build relationships with the students, and set the tone and example for connecting with the students of the Boys Home. It is an amazing experience for parents! Please think and pray about joining this trip. They do have Wi-Fi if you need to work while on the trip.
Who We Are
Our mission statement sums it up; we truly believe that the BEST life is one most closely following God. We desire to meet students where they are in order to shepherd them towards the source of all things good. Connection through reading of his written word (The Bible), prayer, and fellowship. We also try to have a lot of fun doing it.
Small Groups
Galilee students meet weekly in small groups. Small groups are a great way for students to grow in community with one another and in their relationship with God. If you have more questions, please reach out to Marty.
