Trips
TreeHouse
provides a number of high adventure trips each summer for teens to have fun,
learn about themselves, put their life skills into action, and connect with God
in a deeper way. Each TreeHouse location
does trips such as White Water Rafting, Boundary Waters Canoe trips, Fishing in
Canada on an island in Lake of the Woods, and more.
For
scholarship opportunities consult the Area Program Coordinator at the TreeHouse
where you/your teen attends.
Activities
Activities are
scheduled at each TreeHouse. The activities are social times where staff and
teens get out and have a great time beyond regular scheduled Tuesday/Thursday
night program. A day at an amusement park, playing football, going fishing, or
snowboarding are just a few examples of TreeHouse activities.
Check the Activities Calendar at a TreeHouse location to find out what
activities are happening in your area!
Service Projects
Everyone needs to know
that they have something to offer the world. Service projects allow each youth
to experience first-hand the satisfaction of helping another person. Through
these experiences our youth discover new ways to use their talents. Whether the
opportunity is close to home, or across the country, the TreeHouse program
offers youth opportunities to serve others. Painting someone’s home, running a
vacation Bible school, or spending time with the elderly are all examples of
service projects that are done at each TreeHouse. Past participants will tell
you that theses projects are life transforming.
Retreats
Retreats are scheduled four times a year for
each TreeHouse. Retreats are held on the weekends. Time away from a youth’s
regular schedule allows for reflection and often results in seeing situations
in a different light. Retreats allow staff to “bulk up” time with the teens. By
spending an extended period of time together, new lines of communication often
open. Retreats are centered around a theme and promise new activities, friends,
and fun for all.
