Globe Creek Camp   May 23 - 31, 2009

 

Last year we sent our first team to Globe Creek Camp and God confirmed in us that we are to continue helping this camp build for future ministry to the children of the Fairbanks region.  We are very excited to be a part of their ministry.  God is good! 

Make sure you check out last year's May Team page and you will be able to get an idea what to expect for this missions opportunity.  It's a great time to work outside.  Cooler temperatures and crisp mornings! 

This team will be for skilled carpenters and general laborers who have a desire to build with logs. 

We will have to see what the director of the camp has to say about exactly what we will be building early next year.  We will keep you posted.  But this trip is primarily for those who can work hard with their hands.  You will be sleeping in sleeping bags on thick foam mattresses and this is a photo of your shower.  You will have a lot of fun but this is definitely a trip for those who love the outdoors and don't mind "roughing it".  One thing you will not do is go hungry!  All your food will be provided and Globe Creek Camp's cook is wonderful!

You will be arriving in Fairbanks, Alaska on Saturday, May 23rd.  Sunday the team will go to church in North Pole, meet some great people and get ready for a week of hard work at the camp.  Monday through Friday the team will working hard at the camp.  On Saturday, the 29th the team will travel to Denali State Park for a "touristy" day of sightseeing.  At this time of year snow is still melting in some areas.  You will see some magnificent mountains that are just starting to get green.  On Sunday (May 30th) after church the team will make it's way back to Fairbanks and catch a flight in the evening back home.  The team will arrive at home on Monday, May 31st.

We are looking for people who can do:

1. Skilled Carpentry

2. Log Construction

3. Roofing

4. Specific jobs will be announced as we get closer to the trip

 

The price of this trip will be announced soon.  With the sharp rise in fuel prices, airline tickets are on the rise.  We ask that you pray about whether or not you want to be a part of this team and then mark the dates on your calendar.  Send us an email at lightshinealaska@comcast.net and tell us you are interested.  We will keep you informed!
