Pathfinders

From Pathfinder leader Jill Hodson:

"I'm excited to begin our new Pathfinder year! Registration is now open. Please click below to register your Pathfinder. Our Club is geared for those currently in grades 3–8. Those in Grades 9–12 are encouraged to register also as transitional staff. They may participate in all activities and help with the younger Pathfinders.

"Our first meeting will be Sabbath, March 5, 2:00-4:00 in the Youth Chapel. For those who stay after church, you may bring your own lunch and then go to the meeting."

Pathfinders is a worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Christian camping organization, and the College Church Catamounts club is open to all young people in grades 3–12, whether they are members of our church or not. So invite your friends!

• Note on third-graders: Although they can join the club and attend the meetings, they can't go on campouts until they complete the third grade or unless they have a parent/legal guardian who is a club staff member and accompanies them on the campout.

Our College Church Catamounts meet from March to November. This will give us much better camping weather and allow us to take advantage of excellent camping areas that are only open during the summer.

Your registration, club T-shirt, and most of the activities are FREE! We will, however, need to charge for campouts and a few of the more expensive activities.

Our club typically holds 1–2 meetings per month, and most are on Sabbath afternoons. Please watch the church bulletin and calendar for further info, and you can also see the Pathfinder calendar at the bottom of this web page.

We try to have a couple of local campouts per year. A few places we have camped at in the past includes Lake Dennison, Nickerson State Park, Camp Winnekeag, etc.

We love to go on hikes, explore bike trails, go to the ocean, etc. This year we plan to go on a canoe trip, catch a WooSox game, start fundraising for our big trip in August 2024 to Gillette, Wyoming for the Pathfinder International Camporee. 

This years theme is “Mountain Movers” based on the Bible text from Matthew 17:20. Faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains.
