What had originally been scheduled as a fall Diocesan Men’s Hike was transformed, this past month, into a Hurricane Helene Assistance trip. Seventeen men from 11 different churches travelled to the Lutheridge Camp and Conference Center in Arden, NC, to help make it ready for them to reopen.
“We had a group that planned to go hiking,” says Les Sease, Diocesan Coordinator for Men’s Hikes, who organized the trip. “But the trails were closed so we pivoted. I’m so glad we did!”
The men travelled caravan-style on October 10, 2024 with cars, trucks and trailers full of water, gas, food and other supplies.
“While the roads were passable, Lutheridge was a mess,” says Sease. “Piles of debris lined the main road.”
