Venture

You said it: “What I learned on the trip was unity and overall kindness.  It also made me question God and get a lot more into religion.  I also learned to push myself even when I don’t want to do something and in the end it will turn out good in my favor.”

Vision:

Building a solid foundation from which youth and young adults can make decisions that will positively affect themselves and others

Venture Expeditions

Venture expeditions are designed to take both students and staff out of their comfort zones in order to build community and growth. Real life experiences on the river or in the wild act as life lessons and are facilitated to bring participants to gain a better understanding of themselves, their morals values, and life decisions. The desired outcome is that students would be able to walk in truth in understanding what it means to make life choices and how they affect themselves and impact others. Instead of trips that provide immediate gratification, or just recreational relief, Venture trips engage students in such a way that ask them to process life together in community. Venture trips are designed for staff and students to engage in experience and challenge in such a way that is conducive to character building and growth.

1. Kayaking- 5 day White water kayaking clinic that values process over immediate gratification

2. White Water Rafting- 5 day Team and community building adventure along the Salmon River

3. Wilderness Adventure- 5 day Backpacking the State Line Trail, mountain biking out, and culminating with white water rafting the Gorge.

4. Custom Venture Trips- Basic mountaineering, winter camping, backcountry skiing, or backcountry hiking tailored to the geographic region of the specific program we are working with.
