We’ll join several other churches from across the country for an awesome week of camp where we explore what it means to lead as followers of Jesus. We’ll hear from veteran youth leaders, worship together and have plenty of chances to meet just as a Rooted group. The week is all about having incredible fun doing traditional and adventure camp activities while learning more about how to be a committed follower of Jesus. Our Leaders will do camp right alongside the students, keeping track of all the safety stuff but also using this week to connect and grow with all our students. We will learn how Jesus challenged his followers to Lead Courageously and we’ll apply this training to our own lives and encourage the students to live for God in the school year ahead.
Brian Boom runs the camp. He is not on staff at Expeditions but is the main camp leader for lead 222. Lead 222 is the company we go with to camp. All decisions fall on Brian, but he does a great job leading with us the entire week.
