Take a Hike
Your church decides to host a “Take a Hike”. You get hikers/walkers to find sponsors to donate any given amount for their willingness to “take a hike” for our Lutheran camping programs. We have a checklist for you to use as a guideline in your planning, we have flyers, bulletin inserts, etc… below to help with your publicity needs. Contact us to help customize the flyers and publicity for your specific event's needs. Please allow two weeks.
