We’re heading back to Expeditions Unlimited this year for Winter Camp! We’ll be at camp from Friday, January 10th - Sunday, January 12th. This weekend-long experience is for both middle school and high school students and space is limited so get registered!
Who do you think you are? You might define your identity by the things people see on the surface — like your style, your look, your abilities, or your reputation. Those things might have something to do with who you are, but they don’t quite capture the whole picture, do they? For each of us, there is always so much more to who we are beneath the surface. But who are we, really? How can we discover who God made us to be? And how can following Jesus shape who we're becoming?
Come ready to engage in 4 workshops uncovering 4 moments from the early years of Jesus’ life. As we do this, we’ll see how God helps us discover:
Who we’re becoming.
How God’s words help us discover who we are.
How the right relationships help us discover how to grow.
How Jesus helps us discover our purpose.

A bad attitude
We have such an incredible weekend planned with many elements where students will be invited into the something more that God has in store for their life.
Despite their phones constant presence, our students often fail to grasp how deeply phones impact their cognitive abilities and affect their openness to connect socially and spiritually. Because of this, we ask that your student leaves their cell phones home with you.
There is also no phone policy at Expeditions Unlimited as well. We want to make sure we honor this camp as we have built an amazing relationship with them.
And as a fellow parent of students, we want to invite your student into that something MORE this weekend and I know first hand how tempted students are when electronics are in reach.
Students will have access to their leaders phone day and night.
