Ages 15-17

Calling all adventurers! This teenage extension of Explorers Camp, “The Great,” is for older campers who are ready to explore the great outdoors. The Great campers enjoy some time at basecamp at Shrine Mont, but a lot of the time they’re out on extended multi-day backpacking and canoeing expeditions in and around the Shenandoah Valley.

 

No previous camping experience? No problem! Campers just need to be able to carry a pack, walk for several miles, and be willing to push their comfort zone. While parts of camping will be strenuous, other parts will be absolutely serene. It is often in the woods, far from the noise of our daily lives, that we discover time and space to pray more deeply and listen more carefully to the Holy Spirit.

 

What else will you find at The Great? New friends, new adventures, and the joy and wonder of extended time in God’s creation!
