Outpost offers kids a safe, fun, and beginner-friendly outdoor adventure experience. Spending a week exploring God’s creation in a small group facilitates teamwork and learning outdoor skills in ways that help campers grow in faith, collaboration, and self-confidence. Outpost Elementary campers (rising 2nd-6th graders) learn basic outdoor living skills at the Pioneer Site (map). Campers sleep in open-air Adirondack shelters, help cook tasty meals in the kitchen pavilion, and worship around the campfire and in the Outpost Chapel. Campers also spend one night camping in tarp shelters on Falls Mountain for a Home-In-The-Woods experience. Practicing Christian community in an outdoor adventure setting helps campers understand their role in their group while at camp, and how faith can relate to even the most basic aspects of everyday life back home.

“You get to face your fears and do stuff you’d never do before. You meet some really good people there that help you, and you have the best week of your life.”

Home in the Woods

All week-long Elementary living groups go on a “Home in the Woods” overnight adventure together. By hiking from Pioneer to a site on Glisson’s Falls Mountain, campers get a chance to practice their newly acquired outdoor adventure skills of fire-building, cooking, planning and packing for an overnight trip, knot-tying, and trail navigation. S’mores are also involved.
