Challenge and Conquest (Grades - 3 - 8)

Challenge & Conquest will not meet this Sunday, February 2nd. See you next week!

We continue to need volunteers to be extra hands. If groups want to participate in an outside activity, move to the gym, or play on the fields, we need a second adult present. Some groups have two adults volunteering consistently, but many do not. By volunteering with a group, you give them the ability to participate in all activities. The button below takes you to our Volunteer Sign-Up. Thank you in advance for your support!
