IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
TVA Pathfinder Club

Last year our Westside Adventist Churches decided to combine Pathfinder clubs to have one large club here at TVA! Anyone in 5th-12th grade can join, even if they’re not a student at TVA.

This year the exciting news is that our Pathfinder Club will participate in the International Camporee in Gillette, WY in August 2024. It promises to be a lot of fun.

A little about Pathfinders:

Pathfinders is an international program sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It offers many activities, including but not limited to camping, leadership training appropriate for the grade level, activities to support the local community, training for a variety of topics - recreational, artistic, nature, conservation, vocational, and outreach, for which members earn honors for completion, and mentorship by caring staff.
