Let’s go hiking! Salem Covenant Church invites you to enjoy a piece of God’s creation every second Saturday of the month. Everyone wanting to take part can meet at the listed location at 10:00 AM, and you may hike as little or as much as you like. The trails chosen are suitable for most ages and abilities. Any individuals willing to and/or interested in carpooling should meet at Salem Covenant at least 5 minutes before the suggested leave time to allow carpoolers to reorganize and get back on the road. We ask that you come prepared and leave pets at home.
Men’s Retreat
at Adventurous Christians
More info
Adventurous Christians is a Covenant ministry located on Bow Lake off the Gunflint Trail. This retreat is a chance for the men of Salem, their sons, and their friends to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and spend a weekend in the rustic outdoors.
The retreat starts with dinner on Friday and runs through Sunday afternoon. We will have some optional activities planned, but you are free to enjoy the weekend however you prefer. There are numerous local lakes, trails, the lodge, and a sauna. The camp offers canoes for use and transportation to area trails and lakes.
Children are welcome and encouraged, as this is a great chance to do some father/son bonding!
If you are interested in attending, please sign up at your earliest convenience as space is limited. Sign up here or contact Alan Van Loon directly. Cost is $140 per person for the weekend, which covers all meals and lodging, paid directly to Adventurous Christians. Cost is $10 less if you will not be eating Friday dinner at the camp.
If you have any questions, contact Alan Van Loon at AlanVanLoon@GMail.com.
