This week is designed for the student that wants to make a lasting memory and have extreme experiences.
During this week we will be building and strengthening our faith and relationship with God, through experiential learning. These lessons will be reinforced in the campers’ lives; as we work, live and have fun together. You will get dirty, tired and experience things that are physically, mentally, and spiritually challenging.
Extreme Programs are not a good fit for students that are not able or unwilling to manage themselves with proper respect and behavior.
Theme - Captive
Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Are your thoughts leading you toward transformation or conformity? Are your thoughts building you up or tearing you down? Are your thoughts drawing closer to God or pulling you away? Together we will be exploring a topic crucial for your spiritual growth: the battle for your mind. Just like molten glass or soft clay, our lives are constantly being shaped and molded by the thoughts we think.
Adventures
This year our activities include a team building challenge course, mountain river tubing, whitewater rafting, and other activities (subject to weather and water levels). Our adventures will begin at Woodland Lakes on Sunday at 6 PM. On Monday morning we will drive to Cherokee, NC where we will be camping at a private campground. We will spend a day tubing on the creek in a nearby state park. Wednesday we will be whitewater rafting on the Nantahala River. We will be camping in tents in NC and showers will be available every day. Please let us know if your family has a tent that we could use.
Parents will be given a letter at the beginning of the week with our schedule and cell numbers to reach their child in the event of an emergency. You will also receive a letter before the week begins to inform you of what you need to bring and how to be prepared.
