WELCOME! This blog chronicles the ministry events of Emily's work with the Outdoor Leadership Team (OLT) of the CCO. OLT staff invest in the lives of college students often by "suspending the normal rhythms of campus life" through adventure activities that allow students to check their bearings in life. We engage in recreation for the sake of re-creation, learning, and growth that can transform lives into those of leadership and service.

Please note: the views expressed on this blog are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the CCO or OLT.

7th Annual Kayak-a-thon Is Saturday!

Emily during last year's Kayak-a-thon

Only two days from now I, along with other CCO staff, students, and friends, will be attempting to paddle 30 miles in one day on the three rivers that flow by Pittsburgh! (And, no, those 30 miles are not all down river.) You're probably saying yourself, "I figured Emily was crazy, but this proves it! Why is she doing this?" Well, I can't disagree the crazy part, but I'm doing it for a good reason! I am paddling to raise money for the Outdoor Leadership Team of CCO so that ministry to college students in wilderness contexts can continue.

I am getting very excited about the Kayak-a-thon on Saturday! It looks like we'll have beautiful fall weather, and this year three friends from Pittsburgh are joining me in this quest. Please pray for minimal to no winds, safety while we paddle, and last minute sponsors for the paddlers. There will be a total of 19 of us! And stay posted next week for photos from the event!
