Come on a summer adventure!
Encouraging a young person’s mind to be independent of the world’s influences starts with encouraging them to become self-thinkers. To do this, we expose them to adventures and opportunities to serve others. For example, one week is devoted to visiting different museums and learning about art, race cars, and science. Another week, the campers will experience the great outdoors with a trip up the Sandia Mountains on the Sandia Tram, a hiking excursion to the Jemez Mountains, and a trip to the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa.
These experiences help them see the world with others. At Adventure and Leadership Camp, counselors will encourage the campers to interact and to have leadership roles on these outings. Summer adventures keep the camper interacting with others and seeing the world outside a TV or computer screen. It’s how camps in the past encouraged hands-on interaction and experiences with other campers where relationships become a priority.
Adventure and Leadership Camp also has weekly devotional time, a moment to embark on introspection and connection. Every Friday afternoon, campers gather for a unique and reflective experience, delving into the center of their shared adventures. In these moments, conversations grow, allowing campers to openly explore the highs and lows of the week’s escapades. They navigate through the challenges and triumphs, seeking understanding in their shared experiences. Campers find solace in quiet reflection—a time to center themselves and embrace the essence of the moment. Join us as we embark on this soulful journey, weaving together the threads of our collective adventure with grace and gratitude.
