A Day to Remember: Celebrating the End of Our SERVE Project
After a week of dedicated work and community service, it’s time to take a well-deserved break and celebrate our collective efforts with a day full of fun and relaxation.
Our adventure begins at Eagles Nest Ranch, where we dive into a variety of exciting activities. Whether it’s horseback riding through scenic trails or trying our hand at archery, the ranch offers something for everyone, setting a lively and engaging tone for the day.
Next, we head to Cypress Hills Provincial Park and the charming town of Elkwater. Elkwater, with its wealth of outdoor activities, is the perfect destination for our day away.
Once we arrive in the town of Elkwater, we’ll make our way to Elkwater’s beach. Here, we have the chance to relax and enjoy a range of water activities, including swimming and paddleboarding. The beach is the ideal spot for unwinding and having fun under the sun.
For those looking for a bit more action, we also have opportunities for friendly competition with mini golf and disc golf. These activities add an extra layer of fun and camaraderie to our day.
As the sun beings to set, we’ll gather for a catered dinner beside the lake.
Reflecting on the day it’s clear that this break is not just a reward but also a meaningful conclusion to the week of serving together. It reminds us of the importance of balance and the joy that comes from combining hard work with moments of fun.
Get Directions
Registration fees do NOT include transportation to and from the sites. Each church group must provide vehicle(s) and adult driver(s) for the entire mission experience regardless of whether you fly or drive to the site. The vehicles you bring will be used to transport small groups to the work site each day, so 12-passenger vans or mini-vans are preferred. Cars do not facilitate the transportation of an entire small group in one vehicle, so please do not bring them. If you wish to bring a bus, please check with the Host Team to see if this is acceptable before you make arrangements. If your group is unable to provide van transportation, please have a youth leader call the ThereforeGo Ministries office to discuss options and additional charges.
Calgary International Airport (YYC) is 2.5 hours west of Medicine Hat and is best to travel into for rental vehicle options and ensuring accurate travel schedules. Please DO NOT book airfare until you have received email confirmation from ThereforeGo Ministries that you have been placed at this site.
We are very excited to have Living Hope’s Worship Coordiantor, Kyle Church, leading our worship throughout the week! Kyle is an accomplished artist who recently released a new album and has several songs reaching over 1 million streams. We would encourage you to check him out on Spotify after you sign up for this amazing week!
