Attending camp is often referred to as a “mountain top experience.” Away from the distractions and busyness of life, camp offers a chance to relax, enjoy the outdoors, and reflect on what is important. Returning from camp, or coming down the mountain, can seem like a let-down.
We want to flip this way of thinking upside down. The greatest challenges and achievements of life are not to be found in the brief seasons of retreat and escape, but in the victories and progress made each and every day. We learn, we grow, we near the real mountain tops of maturity and godliness.
Our goal is not to give students a once-in-a-lifetime rush, but to encourage and prepare them for a lifetime of steady, God-honoring growth in their spiritual lives.
We have a ton of fun, engage in exciting activities and generally enjoy all that a camping environment has to offer. There are also times for serious thought and careful evaluation. All of this comes in the context of a call to love and follow our Lord Jesus Christ.
Life isn’t easy, but a life lived for Christ is an exciting adventure and a challenge to be enjoyed. Camp isn’t the goal of this life, but it is a place that can help students prepare.
The cliff is steep; the winds are unpredictable. But our guide is dependable, our equipment sufficient and our route clearly marked.
