Senior High Group Workcamp Mission Trip - Bridgeton, New Jersey

A Solid Rock First!! This mission trip is for youth who want to be challenged in their faith but make an impact in the lives of those not as fortunate as they are and in the community. This trip will take place in Bridgeton, New Jersey. Our group will stay in a local school with 375 high schoolers from around the U.S. They will be teamed up with 5 or 6 other youth and leaders – none of who will be from their own group – to go out each day and fix, repair and/or paint homes of those less fortunate. At the end of the day they will experience dynamic youth worship services put together by Group.

This is a life-changing opportunity for the youth. They will be stretched and need to have an attitude that will allow them to be stretched while growing in their faith and making new friends. To participate in this trip the youth need to make a commitment to attend Solid Rock Youth regularly, participate in a Life 2gether group and participate in all fundraisers.

July 29 – Aug. 6

SRY Wilderness Adventure - Stephenville, Newfoundland

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime! Shoulder your pack, tie up your boots, and come explore one of the greatest wilderness areas east of the Rocky Mountains. You’ll get to see the wild in a way most have never done - on foot and completely self reliant using only what you can carry in your pack. You’ll be backpacking over 70km through the Blow-Me-Down mountains and into the rugged alpine of the Lewis Hills. There are no trails or signs. You’ll learn how to navigate using map, compass and GPS . You’ll camp surrounded by thousand foot high canyon walls and you’ll stand on the highest peak of Newfoundland’s Island giving you a 360 degree view that stretches for over a hundred kilometers! You’re guaranteed to see wildlife. Expect to see moose, caribou, arctic hare, eagles, and if you’re lucky some black bears!

You’ll begin learning the basics before we set foot in the wilderness: how to pack your backpack, how to set up a tent, how to light a stove, and how to stay warm. Once we get under way you’ll learn to master various backcountry skills both as an individual and with your group. By the end of the adventure you’ll have learned much of what is needed to travel the backcountry safely and without impact on the environment.

During this adventure in the wilderness, without the modern comforts of home, you will not only learn a great deal about backpacking skills, the ecosystem, and mountain weather, you’ll learn about yourself and the amazing things you can achieve. You’ll also have time to reflect on God’s creation and power as you experience it in a unique and life changing way.

Spend ten days this summer with SRY making new friends, learning new skills, and having the adventure of a lifetime!
