There’s something about getting away from normal routines and rhythms that allows for opportunities to grow relationships, to step out of comfort zones, and to be challenged spiritually. Those are our hopes for our High School Camping trip.

FAQs

    • Any prescription medication you take

    • Sleeping bag, sleeping pad or cot, and pillow

      • If you don’t have a sleeping pad or cot, please let us know and we can help with that. 

    • Extra backpack to carry personal items while hiking

    • Camping chair

      • If you don’t have one, let us know and we can help with that

    • Bath towel and beach towel

    • Toiletries plus sunscreen, bug repellent, etc.  

    • Active/Outdoor Shoes (close-toed)

    • Hat and sunglasses

    • Clothes/socks/underwear (extra is always better)

      • Clothes for hiking, being active, swimming, etc. around outside (shorts, tank tops, t-shirts, etc.)

      • It may be cooler in the evenings/mornings than in the daytime, so bring some clothes you can layer or sleep in that can keep you warm.

    • Appropriate sleepwear 

    • Bible/Pen/Journal

    • Snacks to share or for van rides if you would like

    • You can bring playing cards or other board games if you would like

  • We ask that all students bring and wear close-toed shoes for safety reasons and shoes/boots that are appropriate to hike in and get dirty. If students would like to bring another pair of footwear (sandals, crocs, etc) for water activities, that would be good too. This will be in the middle of the summer, so summer and hiking attire are appropriate. As you do pack for summer and for physical activity, please dress appropriately. For example, no cut off or open t-shirts, tank tops or sports shirts that are too low or revealing, etc. We will be doing water activities so bathing suits will be necessary. 1-piece, 2-piece, or anything in between is acceptable. All we ask is that any bathing suit style not be too low, too revealing, or too tightly cut. Please follow the to-pack and not-to-pack list for other basic necessities your student will need for the trip. For both guys and girls, my desire is for us honor God and others in the way we dress (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

  • We will be all together in one group campsite. Girls and Guys will be in separate tents. There will be multiple tents that sleep around 5 people.
