Dylan Boot Announced as new Campus Minister Intern
 
Dylan Boot PortraitWe are happy to announce that Dylan boot will be our Campus Minister Intern this year. He will be responsible for student programs during Rob's spiritual leave (aka sabbatical).

Dylan was an active student here at Wesley about 7 years ago and has returned to the area after completing a masters degree in Rehab Counseling and working at a number of community centers.

He comes to us with a passion for working with college students and clear bent of supporting and encouraging student leadership.

Officially he will be starting on August 1st but you might get lucky and bump into him before that. Starting August 1 (and perhaps sooner) you can get him at his work email campus_minister@wesleyui.org
(Yes that is an underscore _ between campus and minister!)

Summer Field Trips
 
We have a number of wonderful field trips planned through the course of the summer. All students are welcome to join in. We try to keep them cheap or free but they are always fun.

June 26th- Tour Urbana:  East of Campus during the afternoon
Urbana is also called by some as "old town" and it looks it as it has not had as much development as Champaign has been doing over the many years, this however is nice to see as there is building here that have been standing the test of time and have a comfortable small town feel that put's your mind at ease. The style of stores and restaurants also is unique from those of the mall in Champaign and cater to a more specific demographic. Jarod will show you artwork painted on sides of buildings, and many of the stores
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


July 10th- Amish Trip: Leaving at ~10:00 Saturday, 45min drive
The various Amish (pronounced AH-mish) are known for simple living, plain dress, and practice ways of doing everything by hand without the aid of modern technology. We will drive to Rock home gardens and be guided around their community and see how things are done in old style ways, and enjoy home cooked food that has been made with care and to perfection. See country side and breath fresh air and maybe take something away from the experience that will open your eyes to see how people can have a fulfilling life without all the modern technology and be happy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Jul 16th- Horseback Riding:
This trip is designed for the adventures! We will be traveling to Le Roy county, only 45 minutes away! Last year our group went and had a great time riding horses along deep forest paths and across prairie land. They have very well trained horses, so if you are afraid as a first timer, you need not worry. They will teach you all you will need to know to enjoy your self!  Afterword there is a lake that great to skip rocks across the water, and nature trails and scenery to take pictures! (personally one of my favorite trips of the summer)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Jul 31st- Tour Champaign: West of Campus,
One of the most educational trips you may take with us as you will have a chance to see useful shops and food places to take friends you meet while you are here. There is a lot beautiful architecture Downtown and comfortable Cafe's with unique snacks and treats, a place called ten thousand Villages that sells items from around the world (great for gifts, or decoration for your home), A chocolate Shop that serves to your sweet side that also has many gift worthy items and a smell in the atmosphere that will make you want to stay forever! We will stop for a quick lunch and talk about things you have seen around the town

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aug 6th- Tour Japan House/Arboretum: On Campus, Lincoln ave. and Florida ave. (10 min. bus/car ride)

With moving into the Summer we will get more and more flowers blooming and the arboretum is Definitely the place to go as you see so many colors everywhere, Shade under full leafed trees of many variety and Last but not least the Beautiful Japan House. Made many years ago in recognition of Japanese Culture, they do Tea Ceremonies and open houses to show people what a traditional Japan house looks like and the gardens and sculptures are always accessible and very pretty to look at and take pictures, including a peace fountain, the whole experience is very "Zen" and something you don't want to miss.
