April 14-16, Camp Adams (near Mollala, OR)
Cost: $30, Registration Deadline is March 4.
Are you seeking to find a balance between what you love to do, who are you as a spiritual person, and how to make enough money to survive? Join other university students from across the state as together we explore the question of vocation. Frederick Buechner describes vocation this way, "Where your deep longing meets the world's great hunger." The weekend will include time for reflection, discussion, play and relaxation in the beautiful wooded environment of Camp Adams.
Register early as space is limited.
