Voyageurs Experiences

Dr. Marv VanderVliet is known to many through his years of service as Corps chaplain, but his passion has always been for cadeting at the grass roots level. He has a real heart for kids and especially for kids who have been handed some tough challenges in their lives and often have made bad choices. When he thought of starting a Voyageurs program, he thought in terms of helping these troubled kids by creating a program just for them. Marv drew on his love for sailing and decided to share his passion with his Voyageurs group. While cruising the waters of Lake Michigan, Marv often has opportunity to share his love of the God who made the wind and the waves. Below are some photos of Marv and his group enjoying their sailing adventures. What Voyageur adventures have you had? Feel free to share them with us.
