SHERPA
Looking for something adventurous and meaningful to do with your summer? Come on up to Expeditions and serve on the Sherpa team. Just like in the Himalayas, Sherpas are an important part of making Expeditions tick. Sherpas help out in many ways at camp, learn and grow through Bible studies and, of course, take part in some awesome adventures. This summer opportunity just might be the one for you.
Service
As part of the Sherpa program students have the opportunity to learn to serve selflessly at camp.
Sherpas help out with many of the basic day-to-day functions of camp such as dishes and cabin cleaning as well as play an important role in assisting the guides with activities such as high ropes, paintball, climbing, and canoe trips. Additionally, students will be able to help with special projects. Last year this included landscaping, patio building, moving cabins, building a pole shed and more.
Discipleship
Spiritual growth is the most important part of this program.
Students are given time daily for personal devotions. Additionally, they will take part in three Bible studies per week which will challenge the students to deepen their understanding of God's word and their relationship with him. Throughout the summer, students also live, play, and work alongside Christian leaders who can help the students as they navigate life's tough questions and challenges.
Community
Students will learn how to live in a community that can work together to serve the Lord. Each student will bring a set of talents and gifts to the team that will help them in the group. Students will be given the opportunity to grow spiritually, work, and play together as a community. Wilderness adventures allow students to face fun challenges as a group and learn to solve them together. Students will take part in several wilderness adventures throughout the summer including high ropes course, river trips, climbing, hiking, caving, and more.
