Caravan (4 years through 6th Grade)               
Pointing Kids in the Direction of Christ!

Caravan is a scouting-type program that meets Sunday evenings throughout the school year.  Caravan is a total ministry that helps meet the needs of the total child:  mental, physical, social and spiritual.  Several special activities occur during the year, and children have the opportunity to earn many badges as they participate on a weekly basis in the program.  Children become members of one of the three major groups based on their age: Searchers (1st/2nd graders); Explorers (3rd/4th graders); or Adventurers (5th/6th graders).  Each group is under the direction of one or more adult guides.  Director:  Pastor Diane Reinertsen
