Alaska GO Team

While in Alaska, Blackhawk Church partners with Eaglecrest Youth Ministries, whose mission is to serve the people of Sutton, Alaska through the power of the Holy Spirit. They do this by addressing physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

Our main objective this summer is to help Eaglecrest build long-term relationships with local middle school & high school students. We will partner with Eaglecrest in running a Day Camp for local students. Likely activities include running daily Skill Clubs and games, participating in Life Skills sessions with local students, individual devotional times, nightly group worship gatherings, and opportunities to experience the Alaskan outdoors.

This is an opportunity for Blackhawk Middle School students to grow in their leadership and interpersonal skills, as well as an opportunity for significant personal spiritual growth and exploration.

Tired Tuesday?

Tired Tuesday?

They call this day of camp “Tired Tuesday” we heard because it’s the day that the time difference and travel fatigue hit. Not so sure that was the case with our group. Students and leaders alike were ready for another day of fun with the 30 + campers ranging in age...
