Our Mission

The mission of the Markham Woods Church Adventurer Club is, through a variety of hands-on activities, to develop in the church’s children a lasting respect and love for God, for family, for others, for themselves, for the church and for nature. For 2024, We are excited to announce that we are incorporating Spanish into the Adventurers program! This addition will enhance our mission by fostering a deeper connection and inclusivity among our children!

Joining is Easy!

The Markham Woods Adventurer Club is open to children age 3 to 3rd grade.

Registration is open from July 27th through August 18th. Parents/Guardians will need to complete the application form as well as a medical form. Check out the Signup tab for more information.

What is the Cost?

It's Free!

As part of Markham Woods' overall philosophy "Free for Everyone", the church does not charge for most activities, including Adventurers.

There are several reasons for this:

• First, it’s a pain to always be collecting money at church social and recreational events.
• Second, we don’t want our activities to only be enjoyed by the “Haves” and exclude the “Have Nots” from participation. If we charged, some people wouldn’t be able to join in.
• Third, it’s more efficient just to give money to the Church Budget than to pay for the services provided by the church, because money given to the church is tax-deductible. To provide these activities, we maintain, license and insure two buses, a chuckwagon, an equipment trailer, two 10-canoe trailers, a twelve-passenger van, and a pickup truck. We provide all transportation, food, tents, camping equipment, camping fees and activity costs for campouts. Nothing is ever truly free. Someone pays. Our approach simply ensures that it’s paid in the most efficient and most inclusive way possible. Please continue to support our Church Budget. Thank You!
