Frontier and Western Tour Parent Meetings


SAVE THE DATE!

Hi Bears,

This summer  Young Life at HIES along with several other schools in Northwest Atlanta will be going to Frontier Ranch in Colorado for one of the best weeks of the summer! The two ways to get there are by flying direct or by taking the Western Tour, an Atlanta YL tradition.  We will have two Frontier Parent Information Meetings this year that I want you all to know about. 

What is Western Tour? It is a 3 week trip out West which ends up at Frontier Ranch--one of Young Life's premier Young Life camps in Buena Vista, CO. This is an amazing trip with a 45 year history with Young Life in Atlanta! The same information will be communicated at both meetings. Just pick the day that works best for you! We will have the first meeting on Monday, Sept. 17 at 8:30 am. The other option is Sunday, Sept. 23 at 3:30 pm. Both meetings are at our Young Life Office. These are the only Western Tourparent information meetings that we have scheduled other than the parent meeting in May for the kids already signed up for the trip! If you have a son or daughter who a 10th-12th grader and is interested in going on Western Tour this summer this meeting is for you. Please help us spread the word to others who might be interested!

Frontier and Western Tour Student-Parent Info and Willy's Gift Cards!


Hey HIES Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores, listen up! Do your summer plans include a three week road trip with your friends across the US to California and back? What about spending a week at a mountain resort with 400 other high school students in the Rockies built with you in mind? How about an experience designed to give you and your friends the best week of your summer, if not your life?

That's exactly what Young Life's Western Tour and Frontier Ranch offer - just ask those from your school who have been before. And we want YOU and your friends to experience this as well!

To learn more come on out to Lindsey Klopfenstein's house Sunday with your parents on February 12th at 5:30 for a short info meeting. If you can't come, send your parents, or come yourself if they can't come. Just get there somehow!!

And oh ya, the first 25 (or parents) to come who haven't been on a trip before will get a $5 Willy's gift card. Even, if you don't think you can go, come check it out.

See you then! In the meantime, check out this video: http://vimeo.com/35387146

Peace,

"Coach" Dave, Kyle and Molly

Dates:
Western Tour runs June 18th-July 9th
