Levi's Update
 
Hello everyone! This is a busy and exciting time in the world of high school youth! We have a lot going on including our normal programming as well as looking towards the summer and signing up for trips! 

It is time to go ahead and submit deposits for the senior trip to the Yucatan, Montreat Youth Conference, and Appalachia Service Project. You should have a separate email with details about deposit amounts for each trip and total costs. 

Also looking closer to the present, we have our Spring Beach Retreat at Camp St. Christopher on Seabrook Island March 16-18. The cost of that trip is $150 and that needs to be submitted as soon as possible! 

Also parents, we are still trying to fill chaperone spots for our summer trips. If you are interested in going as a chaperone, please contact me and we can try to work something out! 

Finally, be thinking about Youth Sunday which is just around the corner on April 22nd. If you would like to be involved in that process please contact me as well! Thanks!

SUMMER TRIP
SCHOLARSHIPS

We hope all Covenant youth will be able to participate in at least one summer trip each year.  To that end, we have a limited amount of scholarship assistance available.  If a trip's participant fee would prohibit your student's participation, we invite you to contact Levi directly to speak with him privately.
GET REGISTERED

These forms are required to participate in any off-campus event, retreat or trip. We need an updated form each year from your child/youth to ensure we have the most current info.

Please take a moment to fill out the  registration form and the medical/liability forms.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

As the new year begins, we would also like to welcome any adults who would like to volunteer with the High School or Middle School groups. Please e-mail Levi Bannerman if you would like to learn more about getting involved with the youth on Sundays, Wednesdays, or on trips.
