Eight Outward Pursuits students, under the direction of Professors Paul and DonnaLee Lehmann, recently completed a wide variety service projects in several northern British Columbia communities. "This study tour not only served as a training experience for our students, it also showcased Canadian University College and our Outward Pursuits program," said Paul Lehmann.One focus of the study tour was to give students experience in leading team building activities with a variety of clients. Students worked in conjunction with Hazelton Mental Health, Hazelton Agricultural Rehabilitation Program, and local elementary school. They provided services in Hazelton and nearby First Nation villages of Gitwangak, Gitsegukla, Gitanyow, Gitanmaax, Kispiox, Glen Vowell and Hagwilget.
While in Hazelton they painted the local church school and also cleaned that school's grounds and repaired the playing field. Hazelton SDA School has been offering Christian education to the community for more than 50 years.
Another major component of the study tour was the students leading the Youth and Junior Divisions at British Columbia's Northwest Camp Meeting, June 15-17, also in Hazelton. "The young people at camp meeting were very impressed with how polite CUC students are and how willing they were to be of service," said Lehmann. "Our reception was extremely positive and what we did was greatly appreciated."
