Pathfinders
The Florida Hospital Church is forming a Pathfinder Club. This group for young people in grades 5-8 will use outdoor adventure activities to develop lasting respect and love for God, for family, for others, for the church and for nature. Camping and other exciting outdoor activities will be used to teach lessons and develop individual and team skills that will be beneficial throughout life.
Jeff Wood feels it is vital to “develop in each young person a sense of self-worth and self-reliance while creating bonds of friendship and respect between young people and adults.”
While the goal is for these young people to understand a sense of belonging to their Pathfinder Club, the Hospital Church congregation, and the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, just as important is the desire to encourage them to transfer the skills and lessons learned in Pathfinders to their family, school, church, and community. Hospital Church Pathfinders curriculum will promote a love and respect for nature, personal responsibility and self-control, sensitivity for the feelings of others, and the importance of serving others.
Pathfinders meets on the first and third Wednesday of the month from 6:30 - 8:00 pm. If you have questions, please contact Allan Andino at pathfinders@hospitalchurch.org.
