Wednesday, September 8th at 6pm at Otter Pond Park in Wyndham

We will be providing pizza and drinks too. This is open to all 6th grade youth and their parents. You do not have to be a member of Shady Grove to participate in the youth program. There will be a time for parents to learn about what the youth ministry is and how their students can become active while the youth play games with some of our awesome adult leaders.
