Rain Date: May 22
Join us for “Opening Day at Cross Roads,” a fun work-day event hosted by the New Jersey Synod Youth Ministry Mission Team and Cross Roads. Youth groups, families, and congregational groups are invited to come to camp to volunteer with a few projects as we get camp ready for the summer season. It will be a day of fun, socially distanced fellowship, and giving back to camp. There will be projects for all skill levels that will be done in family groups and well-distanced. Lunch will be included. We’ll conclude the day with an outdoor camp worship service to celebrate the start of the season.
