In lieu of our traditional overnight rafting trip in August, this fall we'll be traveling to Hotlanta for a fun time as we spend time with old friends and make some new ones.We'll depart from Clemson UMC around 3:30 pm on Friday, carpool to Decatur, GA where we'll be hosted by First UMC - Decatur (where former Assistant Campus Minister Steve Simoneaux is interning this fall). We'll enjoy some dinner and then head as a group to the contra dancing event held that night in Decatur. Never been contra dancing? Don't worry! It is great fun and a great way to get to know others! Make sure to bring your ID so that we can get reduced admission.On Saturday, we'll eat some breakfast and then head over to Six Flags where we will spend the day like you never have before. Yes, we'll enjoy the rides and other attractions, but we'll also have some other things planned for you to do that we will remain a mystery until we arrive.The cost is only $25 and covers your transportation, two meals (dinner on Friday and breakfast on Saturday), a t-shirt, and admission to the contra dancing and Six Flags. To sign up email Lane at glaze@clemson.edu ASAP!
When: Friday, 10/9 - Tuesday 10/13Where: West VirginiaWho: Everyone who is interested
This year's fall retreat will be an extended trip to West Virginia over CU's fall break in October. Maybe more than any other weekend of the year, the Fall Retreat weekend is the time when lifelong friendships and memories are made.We'll leave Clemson that Friday afternoon and trek up to beautiful West Virginia, which should be beautiful that time of the year. Our plan is to spend one full day on retreat, one full day in mission locally, and one full day rafting down the Lower New River.The costs is yet to be determined, but as always we'll try to keep it as reasonable as we can. Mark your calendars and spread the word...it should be a grand time!
