Education Program
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)
