RBA thrives on the representation of young people from all denominations (or no denomination) in its membership.  We capitalize on those qualities that all faiths have in common.  We recognize that each person has individual weaknesses, but also has individual and unique strengths.

InCasts like RBA thrives on the representation of young people from all denominations (or no denomination) in its membership. For those of you eligible to join INCASTS (grades 9-12), we meet every Tuesday night from 7:15-9:00 p.m. downstairs at Smith Church. If you would like more information about this older youth group, and/or are interested in joining, please contact Rusty Wightman (401-8223; rustysframe@aol.com) or Heather Veitch.

Both RBA and InCasts are a high-end, adventure-based peer groups aimed at providing social growth and confidence-building opportunities for all participants.  Much of the planning of what we do during the year is done by group consensus. We can guarantee that throughout the year, RBA and InCasts will provide its members the chance to downhill and cross-country ski; to load, paddle and live out of a canoe; to cook over a campfire; to build an expedient survival shelter; to travel to and enjoy cities like Boston, New York, Washington, DC, or Montreal; to find the joy of making a difference in our service projects; to express our musical creativity; to explore our faith and our understanding of what it means to be a positive member of a community; to develop the skills needed for social interaction; to build a foundation for positive self-esteem; and above all, to have the incredible fun of being part of a group of fantastic young adults in a proven peer experience.
