Adventurers Program 

  • Overview

    The Adventurers program combines an overnight camping trip, leadership development, and traditional camp activities, encouraging faith, courage, and outdoor skills.

  • Age Range

    The Adventurers program is for youth ages 12 to 14 years old.

  • Skill Development

    Adventurers will develop leadership and outdoor skills (fire building, shelter making, orienteering), build courage on a high ropes course, gain self-sufficiency on a one-night backpacking trip (planning, packing, meal prep, and safety), and lead Pathfinders in team-building activities—all while growing in faith and learning to love vand leadothers as Jesus does.

  • Activities

    Adventures enjoy a variety of activities, including hiking, water games, campfires, team-building challenges, Bible Study sessions, a low ropes and high ropes course, and a overnight backpacking trip, all designed to promote adventure, friendship, and fun in the great outdoors.

 What Parents are Wondering

  • In the Adventures program, we help youth grow in their faith by developing leadership skills through fun and challenging activities. We focus on building trust and courage, especially through experiences like our high ropes course and an overnight backpacking trip, where they learn to step out of their comfort zones and rely on each other. Along with these activities, we teach youth how to love and serve others, just as Jesus did. Our goal is to create opportunities for kids to grow stronger in their faith while developing the confidence and character to lead with compassion and integrity.
