About Us: |
Austin Seventh-day Adventist PathfindersRestarted as the Austin Avalanche on 2002, lead by Renee Sager as Pathfinder Director.For 2003-2004 we had about 15 active members from Austin First and surrounding churches such as Austin South, Elgin, and Round Rock. The Pathfinders chose to be named the Austin Knights in 2005.In 2006-2007 we went camping at Garner State Park west of San Antonio, and Davis Mountains State Park and visited McDonald Observatory in West Texas. We also went to the Texas Conference Camporee in Beeville and placed 2nd on a terrible weather weekend. In 2007-2009 (???) we went to the Southwestern Union Camporee in Athens, Texas. In 2008-2009 we went camping at Lost Maples State Park and Huntsville State Park. In August 2009, we attended the International Pathfinder Camporee at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Sometime in 2012, our church was renamed from Austin First SDA Church to The Path. Also in August 2017, the church relocated from Anderson Lane to Kelly Lane in Pflugerville. Shortly thereafter, the church was renamed (again) from The Path to the present Stonehill Seventh-day Adventist Church. In August 2014, we attended the International Pathfinder Camporee at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. In October 2016, we attended the Southwestern Union Camporee at Lake Whitney, Texas. In April 2017, we had a primitive campout at Tejas Camp in Georgetown, Texas. In September 2017, we are planning a campout / hike at Lake Georgetown, Texas. In November 2017, we are planning on a Club Challenge in the Austin, Texas area. In August 2019, we are planning on attending the International Pathfinder Camporee at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. |

The Teen Leadership Training (TLT) program works closely with the Pathfinder program and is for high school students (grades 9-12). Staff positions are available in many locations that offer adults the opportunity to make a difference for young people, develop friendships with fellow staff, learn more about God's creation, and improve their training skills. |
