2011 Teen Activities

We are enthusiastic about this year’s Festival program for the Teens! Along with the activities from last year, we have added a camp-fire sing-a-long and a special service day on the Sabbath. The exciting and more challenging activities like cave exploration and the “High Ropes" course will also be offered this year!
