Battalion Camps Description
Boys who have completed grades 7-12 can explore their interests in more outdoor challenges or specific skills while developing their Christian character. Young men need and deserve a challenge! Under the guidance of Christian men, physical skills are developed and tested with spiritual application to everyday life. Campers enjoy the basic fun of a camp setting, swimming, games, campfires, etc. However, most of their time is spent on the program they sign up for from the following options:
Aviation* - Under the guidance of licensed pilots/instructors, you will get plenty of flying time in the cockpit, as you take flight from a nearby airport! Imagine going back to school in the fall, when all your friends spent their summer playing video games, and you tell them you actually flew an airplane instead!
Marksmanship - The week will begin with the foundation of training proper attitude and appreciation of skilled marksmanship under the close supervision and instruction of certified leaders. As their firing skill improves during the week, so will their confidence in other areas of life that they must aim” for.
Caving - This week's adventure will be led by Bob Robins, who is an experienced caver and has participated in the exploration and mapping out of caves for the regional caving association. He and his family have been enjoying God's hidden wonders for more than 2 decades. For awesome pictures of previous trips, check out www.cavingintro.net!
