HOMESCHOOL ENDEAVOR WILDERNESS
JUNE 4-11, 2022
|
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? We believe Endeavor Wilderness will help students explore leadership abilities, healthy communication, and conflict resolution--skills DM considers necessary for mature Christian living. So here are some Frequently Asked Questions by participants-to-be: What is it? Endeavor Wilderness is an 8-day wilderness expedition filled with challenge, potential spiritual growth and opportunities to learn wilderness skills.
