Get outside with Creekside!
We are called by God to community and fellowship together (Acts 2:42). Creekside Outside is a hub designed to connect individuals who share a passion for the outdoors. You'll find events that suit your level of adventure and risk and meet new friends who share your interests – outside. Activities range from mild to wild, are always informal and fun, and led by volunteers who love God's creation. For more information, see event descriptions as they become available or contact Quinton Miller at outside@creeksideeg.com.
We are usually on Creekside's Main Street the first Sunday of each month (except February, when we'll be out there on the 2nd Sunday). Stop to ask questions and get more information.

Snow Cave Adventure
When: Jan 31 - Feb 2. You’re welcome to come for either or both nights.
What: Dig a cave in the snow and spend the night. That’s all.
Where: Across from the Boreal Ski Resort on Hwy 80.
Who: All ages and sexes are welcome.
Difficulty: This is an intermediate level adventure, and basic backpacking gear and fitness is assumed.
If you’ve never done something like this before, don’t be intimidated by the idea that you need a lot of experience or expensive gear. While the risks are real, if you use your head and what you have on hand, you’ll do just fine and have a blast.
Alternatively, feel free to come for the day, play in the snow, and lend a helping hand.
There will be a meeting January 12, 6:00 pm, at the residence of Quinton Miller to discuss details, tactics, and gear. Please RSVP. For questions and more information contact Quinton Miller at outside@creeksideeg.com / (916) 502-3421.

JFK 50 Mile Walking Challenge
The JFK 50 is a challenge to walk 50 miles in one day. It was first issued in 1963 by then President John F. Kennedy, and was based on a requirement that President Teddy Roosevelt had set for his own military officers.
For more information about the JFK 50 Mile Challenge, see https://www.artofmanliness.com/health-fitness/fitness/take-trjfk-50-mile-challenge/
Feel free to do this on your own, with friends, or even tag team it with your LifeGroup. The walk is done on a loop just over 8 miles long, and we’ll walk it six times. Last year’s walkers took 16 hours and 8 minutes to complete the challenge. You may not be able to finish, but you can certainly participate!
The route will open at 4:00 am in the Creekside parking lot, and you can start whenever you arrive.
Contact Quinton Miller at (916) 502-3421 for more information or to RSVP.
