| Description | Spend 10 days camping and hiking with 24 college students in the Rocky Mountain National Park while you learn how to connect with people the way Jesus did … through stories! Mornings and evenings you’ll engage with God as you explore his Word through a set of Bible stories from the life of Christ. In the afternoons, you’ll hit the trails and share the stories you’re learning with fellow hikers. Enjoy campfires and s’mores at night under the stars. You will use Bible stories in evangelism and discipleship, and you’ll learn skills in leading small groups. You’ll also hear about opportunities to join StoryRunners in our mission to bring God’s word to cultures with little or no Scripture. We will be tent camping (no overnight backpacking, just day hiking) in Rocky Mountain National Park. You don’t have to be an athlete to participate, but you should be able to hike for a couple of hours in the mountains. Hiking options include everything from an easy stroll around Bear Lake to the short-but-strenous hike to the top of Alpine Ridge (just over 12,000 feet) where the elk herds hang out or a long hike to crystal clear, boulder-strewn Sky Pond, just below the tree line. Bring your water shoes for whitewater rafting and your appetite for a tasty meal in a Nepali restaurant during our day of outreach in Estes Park. We’ll provide the tents and the campfires and the meals, but you’ll need to bring your own sleeping bag, pillow, and camping pad (or your hammock if you want to sleep between the trees!). Shuttle service from Denver International Airport to the park is included, but the cost of transportation to Denver is additional. |
