Challenger II Camp – July 20 - 28
The next Challenger II program opportunity for young adults will be this coming July. Challenger II is an exciting opportunity for a small, select group of young adults (usually 12 to 15) who are serious about their commitment to GOD’s truth and Church, and give them focused leadership training in an outdoor setting. Each program revolves around a close mentoring dynamic with a small group of ministers and other adult leaders. The purpose is to provide both physical and spiritual training to teachable young adults who desire to grow in godly character, leadership skills and the ability to serve others. Application deadline is May 1, 2008. However… due to the limited size of the expedition, the possible high number of applicants, and the need for those accepted to begin preparing as soon as possible, it is highly suggested that you send your application in well before the deadline if possible.
