Geneva Family Team
Zip Line in the Jungle
Waiting for a turn on the Ropes Courses
Here at El Refugio, we basically have two types of groups, those who come for a retreat La Red would be an example of a retreat group, and then those churches who come specifically as a work team. Now under the definition of a work team they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
Our second group of the summer was a “Family Work Team” from Geneva Church outside of Chicago. How our dorms are set up we can “host 5 maybe 6 family units. The family team is always fun and always a little more lively as we learn to accommodate the different ages to fit the work project. The team scoured and cleaned our pond and worked at pouring the foundation for our future shop. During their stay here, they hosted a VBS, held babies at the orphanage, enjoyed campfires each night with a devotional, hiked and of course worked. What I remember most about the family team is their complete generosity.
