We hope your students won’t miss this weekend of bonding over meals, games, late night snacks, singing, teaching, and small group time. Boys and girls will have separated lodging and restrooms. 

Our speaker this year will be RUF Stanford's campus minister David Birnie, and our theme is ‘The Kingdom of God’.  We are so excited to attend, and look forward to how God will use the weekend to change lives.

Angel Island Hike & Tour

The immigration station on Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay opened on January 21, 1910 to process immigrants arriving from Asia. Unlike its counterpart on Ellis Island, which existed to welcome European immigrants, Angel Island existed to exclude Asian immigrants. Only 20% of immigrants arriving on Ellis Island were detained, while 60% of immigrants who arrived at Angel Island were detained, often for weeks, months, or even years.

Learn more here.

Celebrate Asian American Heritage Month with us as we learn about the history of Asian immigration to the United States and think about what it means to be a church that loves immigrants. Space is limited to 30 participants.

9:00am. Meet at Golden Gate Ferry (SF Ferry Building Gate B)

10:00am. One mile hike to Angel Island Immigration Station

11:00am. Guided tour of Angel Island Immigration Station
