Don't Know What to do on Your Day "Off"?

We will be posting resources along the way to help you plan for your day off as well as ideas for your time at Exodus, resolving conflict, how to cope with culture shock, local life in NYC, and more! Keep checking back for more inspiration, updates, guidelines, and helpful articles, links, and posts on ways to help prepare your teams for what they will experience in The Big Apple!

Check out these cool sites for ideas on what to do for your day off! Consult your Leader's manual, too for more ideas in addition to these!

Tenament Museum: One time an apartment building for 7000 immigrants, this building has been turned into a museum to take you back to 1863 and help you experience what it was like to live in an unfamiliar place and face the challenges that many feared. Each year 30,000 students visit the museum to learn about the city and immigration through the years. (Students $15, Adults $20) http://www.tenement.org/about.html

Times Square: There's always something going on in Times Square! This website will stay updated as the time of your team's arrival gets closer. Keep checking back to see what will be happening while you are in NYC! http://www.timessquare.com/

Botanical Gardens: Here's the link for New York's botanical gardens. Just beautiful! For groups of 15 or more, there are special discounts for adults! http://www.nybg.org/

Also, it doesn't hurt do some internet searching for coupons for discounts at popular attractions!

We'll be posting more as the months progress.

As always, contact us of you have ANY questions!!!!

Teams are in NYC!

We are so excited that RUF @ MTSU and Graystone Pres are in NYC!!! So far it's been a good week for everyone. The two teams have been at both locations, Washington Heights and Inwood this week. We pray that their time there has been beneficial to the kids and Exodus!

Praying for safe travels for both groups as they go home. MTSU leaves Friday morning at 6 am!!! Graystone leaves Saturday.
