Ebenezer ALIVE!  

Education Program

Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm). Ebenezer ALIVE! is offered from September through May, with school groups choosing either a Monday through Wednesday or Wednesday through Friday timeframe for the 48-hour-long course, with beginning and ending sessions at midday lunch.  Each attending group will supply funding, reservations, and transportation.  While program facilitators guide learners through activities in the setting, participation and supervision from parent volunteers and regular classroom teachers is required.

Costs:  A per-person price includes lodging, meals, instruction and education packet.  Side trips outside the New Ebenezer Retreat will pose additional costs. Your group will have to provide transportation to off-center sites. (Exact cost to be posted soon)
