We will introduce men to the various “pointmen” that will be leading whitewater rafting, mountain biking, ATV riding, kayaking, etc and they will set the stage for those activities. Thursday night will round out with a time of introduction, a short message, prayer and men will be released to go hang out at campfires and get to know each other.

We will also break out times for men to get into small groups to discuss and think about the message they just heard.
