Oct. 21: True North to Prescott
We are looking for 8 mentors to join us for a trip to Prescott with 25 to 30 foster kids for a day of fun and adventure!
- Time/Location: Saturday, Oct. 21, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- Departure Location: Encanto Park Parking Lot near Amp Island and the former Enchanted Island Amusement Park 1218 W Encanto Blvd Phoenix, AZ 85007
We’ll board a bus at 9am and make two stops along the way to explore Lynx Lake and Watson Lake, having lunch picnic style. The bus becomes the classroom as we prepare the kids on the drive up and go through their image-files on the drive back. We will return at 5pm, in time for you to enjoy your Saturday night.
These True North trips are a wonderful experience for all! Breakfast sandwiches, lunch, and waters will be provided. Each mentor is asked to help out with small tasks throughout the day, such as helping distribute food, backpacks, and cameras, helping with games and role-call on the bus, etc.
