Walk With Christ - Sponsor a Hiker
This is a great year to be involved with Walk With Christ!
We are looking for generous donors that would be willing to "sponsor a hiker" for the weekend. Since the beginning of WWC (14 years), this retreat has always been at no cost to participants (hikers). However, since moving the location from the BSUMC to Camp Awanita, there is a cost to be covered. It is our hope that we will reach our goal of sponsoring every hiker.
If you feel led to donate, follow the link provided and enter your donation on our giving page. *Donations are tax-deductible! Clicking the link will redirect you to our giving form - select "Walk with Christ - Sponsor a Hiker" - enter the amount (1 hiker = $100) - click "continue" where you will be taken to the processing page. Click here to Sponsor a Hiker!
Thank you for your consideration

Older than 8th grade and would like to Confirm? No problem! You are more than welcome. We will learn and re-learn the information aspect, every year!
