Wild Adventures


Dear Parents,

Thank you so much for allowing your youth to participate in our summer events this year. They have been a huge success and have provided a way for me and our other youth leaders to get to know your youth. We have one more summer event planned this summer before we kick off our fall programming on August 19th. We are going to Wild Adventures in Valdosta, GA on August 12th. Wild Adventures is a theme park with roller coasters and a huge water park. We will leave the church a little after 8 am and will return at 9 pm. The price of the event is $25 which covers admission. Please email me to RSVP by August 7th and pay before August 10th (you can pay after but you will have to pay full ticket price, around $35).

We will be providing breakfast that morning which will include breakfast bars, pop tarts, doughnuts, milk, & orange juice. Your youth will have to bring money for lunch and dinner at the park (I suggest $15-20). They will also have to bring their own money for any other events (arcades, fair type games, etc) that they wish to participate in at the park.

There is also a water park inside Wild Adventures! So have your youth bring a change or clothes and a towel so they can participate in this as well. Make sure their swim suit does not have any metal on it (this includes even small little metal rings that some suits have on pockets). If there is metal on their suit the park will not allow you to go down any of the slides. Also ladies must wear a one piece, a tankini, or a dark shirt and are not allowed to wear a bikini. If you have any questions or concerns about this please do not hesitate to call or email me and I would love to explain why our church holds this view.

If you have any additional questions about our last event, or any of our other programs, please feel free to email or call me at any time. Thank you for letting your youth partner with us at Petra Baptist church this summer!
