The Adventure Corps is an experiential learning and leadership training program.
The mission of Adventure Corps is to bring hope to the world through faith based wilderness adventure programs that create courageous leaders of faith. Participants will grow in their knowledge of survival by learning fundamental wilderness skills. Participants will be able to understand basic weather patterns, use effective communication and critical thinking to overcome obstacles, practice effective leadership methods, and be able to properly identify and manage risks, all while experiencing an unforgettable expedition. Participants will learn these skills both in expedition settings and outdoor classroom settings.
We build all of our leadership training around service, most notably we will guide and mentor Alaskan under-served youths. This is an advanced servant leadership training program where the participants will be challenged spiritually, physically and mentally through an experience unlike no other. As Jesus went into the wilderness in Mark 4, we too will venture into the wild to discover a fuller image of God, his majestic nature and ourselves so that we can better serve the world around us and bring hope to a hurting world.
This program will be very physically and mentally challenging. Participants must be in good physical shape and able to hike 8-12 miles a day. You will not have access to running water or bathrooms. Your bathroom will be the great outdoors. There will not be access to electricity so be prepared to live off the grid. Our guides that will accompany Adventure Corps participants are experienced outdoor guides, trained in first aid, risk management, and wilderness rescue.
