Press Release Body: Loveland, CO, September 26, 2008 -- Lifetree Adventures today
announced a new addition to their portfolio of trips, a Christian family adventure
to Alaska. Part vacation and part Christian service, this new adventure will allow
travelers to experience the thrills of Alaska as well as helping local villagers.

Travelers on this Christian family adventure will stand atop a glacier, hike in
Denali National Park, and catch a glimpse of the tallest mountain in North America,
Mt. McKinley. They will spend a day sailing in Prince William Sound, listen for the
crackling noise of a calving glacier, and visit the wildlife preserve near Anchorage
and get to know the many “wild” residents who call Alaska their home.

While participating in this Christian family travel, families will enjoy numerous
activities, including horseback riding, river rafting, or shopping for Native
Alaskan handicrafts in the largest open-air market in Anchorage. Their time in this
beautiful land will be filled with exploration, once-in-a-lifetime moments, and
mesmerizing vistas that are guaranteed to take your breath away. Families will

country! For a detailed itinerary visit:

Immersed in all this glorious beauty is great need. On Lifetree Adventures Christian
family trip, travelers volunteer at a camp that cares for kids from around the
country. Every summer they come to be stretched in their faith and grow in their
love for Jesus. Travelers will help around the camp with maintenance, gardening,
cleaning, and plenty of other projects that a family can do together.

When not working in the camp, families will serve in the nearby community and bless
the elderly who can no longer do the things they need to do in preparation for a
long, hard winter. On this Christian family trip, families work alongside men,
women, and their families. Experience everyday life in the Alaskan wild, and spend
time learning about their traditions. Life in the village is very hard, and the time
passengers spend with them, showing God’s love to these amazing people, will make a
difference for years to come.
