Parents, We are so excited to experience how God speaks to us through the Bible, Prayer, and Others with your kids at Road Trip 2012! It s going to be a great time with friends, leaders and God. We will have fun with messy games, worship, art, drama, bible study... and more messy games. We know that it is a big step to entrust your kids to others, and we do not take this responsibility lightly. Just know that your kids will be able to absorb the truths they learn in a safe, and exciting environment. We love your kids, Jason & Robyn Jason Underhill, Children s Pastor Robyn Collins, Children s Treehouse Minister Camp Linden Information Rt. 4, Box 131 Linden, TN 37096 877-354-6336 www.lindenvalley.org Positioned along side the Buffalo River in the scenic hills of Middle Tennessee, Camp Linden is located approximately 6.5 miles south of the town Linden, Tennessee in Western Tennessee.
