ENDEAVOR HOMESCHOOL PROGRAMS
Endeavor WildernessAges 15-18
God trained His leaders in the wilderness. Using His creation and teaching adventure skills, the DM staff will encourage you to step up and do hard things, to step out and risk being uncomfortable, to step down to put God and others first. Using a map and compass, you will find your way through the forest or down the river. Through canoeing, backpacking, and rock climbing, you will find new strength to persevere. By memorizing Scripture and discussing Biblical concepts you will purposefully examine and reflect on God's character and His presence in your life.
Many people train hard and study diligently to succeed in a world that values power, money and physical beauty. They spend unbelievable time and money to receive trophies or certificates, which have no eternal worth. Wouldn't you rather achieve success in ways that will change your heart and your life eternally?

Endeavor AdventureAges 12-15
Some of the most intimate discoveries of the character of God happen in the wilderness. When we remove distractions and step away from the noise, we can fruitfully practice the disciplines of listening and longing. In the quiet of a cave, at the heights of a rock cliff, winding down a river or in exuberant worship around a campfire, your time in God’s creation will draw you toward life-long transformation. We want to support homeschool families as they instill habits of the Christ-centered lifestyle in their students. Will you choose adventure?
Discovery Ministries (DM) has created Endeavor Adventure, a wilderness adventure retreat, specifically for home-schooled students age 12-15. In an experiential retreat-based setting, students will use the knowledge and skills which homeschooling has taught in order to grow in a deeper understanding of God and their walk with Him. We believe Endeavor Adventure will help students experience God in creation as they overcome fear, learn communication skills, engage in team-building activities, and more - life skills DM considers necessary for growth as a Christ-follower. What is it? Endeavor Adventure is a 5-day Adventure Retreat that will offer a variety adventure-based activities, such as ropes courses, canoeing, orienteering, caving, climbing and rappelling facilitated by Discovery Ministries’ highly trained staff. Activity debriefings will help students translate what they experience through those activities to actual life in Christ. The exact itinerary of activities will vary in order to meet the needs and goals for each retreat. Evening devotions will provide scripture-based discussions to help apply lessons learned throughout the day. Students will stay in a lodge where all of their meals will be provided. When is it? June 14-18, 2026 (Endeavor Adventure 1) August 9-13, 2026 (Endeavor Adventure 2) Parents can drop their students off at Discovery Ministries any time after 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. The program begins at 4:30 p.m. Sunday and will end at 1 p.m. Thursday. What do you need to bring? Discovery Ministries provides all the specialized gear necessary for the adventure activities. Campers will need to bring their own bedding, towels, clothing, toiletries, Bible, and a heart willing to learn. Your open attitude toward trying new things and doing hard things will help you succeed. What will the trip cost? The total cost for Endeavor Adventure is $400. Why should you come? Endeavor Adventure will provide experience-based opportunities to grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually. While also providing opportunities for students to build community and deep friendships with one another. DETAILSRetreat Dates:
