2025 9th Grade Backpack Trip

9^th Grade Christikon Trip

July 19 - 27

What is Christikon? Christikon is a ministry of Lutheran congregations that is based in an outdoor setting in the mountains of southern Montana which offers experiences grounded in and shaped by the gospel of Jesus Christ. For many years, Bethel’s youth who have completed 9^th grade have participated in the “Mountaineers” trip backpacking as a part of their preparation for confirmation.

Dates - Bethel youth will attend Christikon from July 19 - July 27 2025 (includes 2 travel days). We will leave Bethel VERY early on the 19^th and return in the evening of the 27th.

Transportation – We will be traveling to Christikon in 12 passenger vans.

Cost: $885

In addition, you also will need enough money for 3 lunches and 1 breakfast. $150 non-refundable deposit is due with registration.

Registration is due no later than December 15th. In the case of a cancellation after January 1st, you will be responsible for the entire cost of the trip. Please make checks payable to Bethel Lutheran Church.

For the payment schedule and the fundraising schedule please see the Christikon Information Sheet.

How interested are you in fundraising?

VERY! I intend to fundraise as much as possible! I will participate in a few fundraisers, but not all of them. I think I will take this year off from fundraising. I'm not sure yet.

Please list up to 3 people you would like in your backpacking group. We will do our best to place you with at least one friend. (Your list can include males and females as backpacking groups are coed.)

I understand that $150 is due now to reserve my spot. The total cost of the trip will be $885 and if I need to back out after January 1st for any reason i will be responsible for any costs we cannot get back. I realize there are additional forms to fill out as we get closer to the trip, including behavior and expectations covenants. You also will need proof of a physical in the last year.

Yes No

Is there anything we should know before entering in the trip? (allergies, concerns, questions/comments about fundraising etc)
