We have the place. We have the time. We are going to do some canoeing! With all this water and beautiful scenery it is only right that we should take full advantage of where we live. We are going to head down to Ponca, Arkansas on the Buffalo River very close to Lost Valley. Some of the most beautiful views I have ever seen were on a hike in Lost Valley!
We will meet at the church Friday May 20th at 4pm and car pool down together just south of Harrison. We will eat dinner, play some games, have some worship, some fire ,some treats and some sleep at Ponca Bible Camp. It is a neat place with all sorts of big trees, and wilderness adventures. We will be sleeping indoors with running water, and air conditioning. If you want the real camping experience you can bring your tent and bear repellant.
Lost Valley
The next morning Saturday the 21st, we will wake up, make some flapjacks, and go for a canoe ride and hike. Depending on our group size we may split up into two groups and alternate activities. If for some reason canoeing is not available ( lots of rain, not enough rain) we will check out some more trails and maybe do some caving! After we are throughly tired and our arms are achy we will pack up our cars and head back to Missouri. The plan is to be home around 7pm.
The cost for this trip is $25. You will need to sign up, pay, and fill out a waiver in the Youth Booth. When you sign up I will send you more info like a packing list and a detailed schedule. Any parents, junior high, high school, or leaders are welcome to come! For questions please contact angela@woodhills.org.
