On June 21, 2011, twenty-four young people and six adult chaperones from Hawai'i, headed to Minnesota to attend the triannual Episcopal Youth Event (EYE), and three days of mission.  The event, which was held at Bethel University, brought together over 800 high school aged youth and over 300 adult leaders/chaperones, who worshipped,  praised, learned and played over the 3-day event.  The Hawai'i delegation then headed north to Ely, Minnesota, where they participated in Environmental Stewardship at the Mary Brown Center.  Here they were greeted and hosted by gracious members of the Environmental Stewardship Commission of Minnesota, experiencing the beauty and peace of one of America's top preserves, the Boundary Waters.  Read about their experience and the wonderful memories that were made during their trip.
