Located in the city of Goshen on 17 acres of wooded land, Pathways has opportunities for a limited number of church youth groups to spend an evening performing service, engaging in spiritual practices, and experiencing fellowship. We can accommodate groups as large as 12 or 15 youth, with sponsors.
A typical evening schedule is:
7:00 - 7:45    Light work in the woods
7:45 - 8:15    Prayer practice: Walking the labyrinth
8:15 - 9:00    BONFIRE and fellowship time

Pathways staff supervises the work, leads the prayer practice, and hosts the bonfire. Pathways will also provide any specialty tools needed for the work, as well as insect repellent and special safety gear if needed.
We expect youth group sponsors to

• Provide a bridge between Pathways staff and the young people
• Coordinate transportation of the youth group to and from Pathways
• Provide any snacks or treats for the group
• Ensure the group is properly dressed for the work at hand - gloves, close-toed shoes, and so forth.

Examples of work performed by groups include gathering and burning brush (from invasives), raking leaves, and spreading mulch.

Please contact our volunteer coordinator to discuss opportunities for your youth group.
