Youth Parents! we are having a Vanderhoof wide youth kick-off event! All the church youth groups are getting together to kick off the year by playing in the mud; Tough Mudder! If you are not familiar with Tough Mudder it is pretty much what it sounds like - an obstacle course in the mud! Our Sr. Youth will have first dibs on running through the course (1:00-3:00) before the other youth groups arrive. This is so that they can then help host (alongside the leaders) the rest of the event when the other youth groups show up. This event will be hosted at Ed & Jolene Bueckert's house (861 Oak Street).

Here is the rough schedule of what the event will look like:

1:00 - 3:00 - VCF Sr. Youth arrive/ run through the course

3:00 – 5:30 Other youth groups arrive/run through the course (until done)

5:30-6:30 - Clean up (There will be two outdoor showers (warm water while it lasts)

Waiver - ALL youth need a waiver form signed by their parent/guardian before they are allowed to run through the course. If they do not have a waiver, they CAN NOT participate in the Tough Mudder course. This waiver protects Ed & Jolene if any youth/adult gets hurt.
