WHAT IS THE WAYFINDNG PROJECT?
The Wayfinding Project is a holisitic approach to helping youth (Grade 11 &12) and young adults (up to age 23) discern the next steps God has for them in their journey with Him. The Wayfinding Project includes two in-person retreats; Sept. 22-24 of 2023 and one in spring of 2024. Both retreats will be hosted at Camp Tulakadik, Norton, NB. In between the retreats you will engage with other Wayfinding students in 8 online modules, helping you discern and listen. Lastly, all along the way you will have a mentor who will both support and guide you along your journey. This isn’t a journey meant to be done alone which is why community is such an important piece of The Wayfinding Project. Are you ready for the adventure?
HOW DO I START the ADVENTURE?
Youth LEADERS YOU’RE UP FIRST!
1) NOMINATE
The journey starts with you! Do you have youth/young adults (going into grade 11 up to age 23) who could benefit from discerning God’s call in their life? Here is your chance to help and it doesn’t require a lot. Click the button below and nominate up to three youth/young adults who could benefit from an engaging discernment process.
Keep in mind not all students who are nominated will be chosen to participate due to capacity limitations. Nominations are now closed for 2023-2024.
2) ENCOURAGE
Check in with your youth and if they receive an invitation to register, encourage them to pray about it and register before the deadline September 8, 2023.
3) Follow Up
Follow up and debrief with your youth/young adult after they attend the retreats and as they work through the modules. Ask them if they need help finding a mentor to journey with them in the process.
OK! YOUTH/YOUNG ADULTS NOW ITS YOUR TURN!

There is a fee of $40 to register. If cost is a barrier for you to attend please contact us ASAP so that we can work toward a solution together.
