Dogsled, Ski and Snowshoe Adventure

Thursday, January 21, 5:00 p.m. – Sunday, January 24, 8:00 p.m.

Take part in our annual journey to YMCA's Camp Menogyn. Revel in God's creation and connect with other women from St. Andrew’s and beyond while renewing your spirit and in the beautiful north woods, off the Gunflint Trail in Northern Minnesota. Opportunities abound for you to cross-country ski, snowshoe, hike and of course, dogsled. Everyone will get a chance to experience dog sledding and the dogs live right there so you can also learn and participate in their care and feeding as well. A van will be available to take skiers to the world famous trails at Bearskin Lodge. Cozy indoor lodging, most equipment, delicious food and coach transportation is included in the $230 fee. A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required. Signups will be accepted beginning Nov. 1 at 8:00 a.m. This trip is led by Carrin Mahmood and Lisa Ender.
