Challenge Yourself!
A challenge provokes, stimulates, or incites us. We confront challenges everyday. When faced with a challenge, our response and action molds and defines our character.
Teen Challenge is meant to be a challenge! Activities are planned to engage you, excite you, and push you outside of your comfort zone.
Teen Challenge will allow you to try new experiences that you may never have thought you could do. Your individual strengths will shine as you become an essential part of a team and form friendships.
Details of 2010 Teen Challenge to be announced soon!
We hope you’ll join us for the fun and adventure that lie ahead.
