LODGING

PROVIDENCE LODGE

Address49 Atkins Loop,
Lake Junaluska, NC 28745

You may have to share a room/bed with another, we will try our best to put friends together as much as possible!  However, if you must have your own bed, you may want to consider bringing an air mattress or sleeping bag, just in case the beds do not work out!

PROGRAMMING

The THEME for the weekend will be: “GARBAGE IN = GARBAGE OUT”

Philippians 4:8-9
8…Whatever is true, whatever is NOBLE, whatever is RIGHT, whatever is PURE, whatever is LOVELY, whatever is ADMIRABLE—if anything is EXCELLENT or PRAISEWORTHY—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”

FUN STUFF
FEEL FREE to bring a game that you can play with others, however, we will be staying pretty busy!

TUBING
We will be traveling to Asheville on Saturday afternoon for a few hours on the French Broad River.    The river is NOT a fast moving river and life jackets (supplied by our tubing company) are required!  This is included in the price of the weekend!
