Super Winter in Portland & Lewiston!

Written By Joel Furrow

Last week was February Break for schools across Maine. For many its a time to get out of town and leave the cold winter in Maine for warmer climates, but for us - it’s time for SUPER WINTER!

Portland teens had an opportunity to get away for some winter fun at Camp Good News, lead by Dieudonne Karawanga, our Portland Director. They had a blast and dove into learning how God has prepared them for good work.

In Lewiston, SUPER WINTER Day Camp was in full swing with plenty of fun, learning and skiing!

Lew Crew Teens have worked all winter as ski coaches for afterschool elementary students. Our Portland youth were welcomed by our Lewiston team of coaches at Lost Valley in Auburn for a full day of Skiing and learning.
