$885 - $1250
During this multi-week adventure, campers will be faced with practical and Biblical instruction to help them understand the role that God has for leadership in their lives. The Switchback program is bathed in fun and excitement and is designed to help the camper to enjoy his stay, all while setting on course a vessel fit for the Master's use.
Campers are removed from their day to day schedule and placed in a controlled environment where they are isolated from their regular comfort zones. This allows for a "reality check" and produces an awareness for what is really important in life. It can also provide a new-found appreciation for what God has already blessed them with. The goal is to guide them to a place where they recognize the need for a change and begin to desire a healthy direction in life.
In addition to setting young men on track. The Switchback program is an action packed, multi-week introduction to survival in the remote Appalachian forests.
We have two Switchback programs from which to choose, each with the same goals and objectives, a different length of stay (13 or 20 days), and a unique structure and scope. Read below to determine what program is best suited for your son.

Switchback20
(20 days) June 27-July 16
$1250
The Switchback20 camp is our premier program aimed at correction change. The 20 days allow enough time for campers to not only recognize the need for a change, but also begin the process of restructuring choices, thoughts, attitudes and their relationship with God. The last 5 days of the program are aimed at encouraging and rewarding the accomplishment of set goals. One of the goals for the young men that week is to complete a 30 mile adventure trek on remote wilderness trails and waterways.
| Why choose the 20 day program? |
* Sometimes 13 days is not enough time to rebuild.
* The speed and schedule of the program slows more each day giving the camper time to think and meditate on the approaching return back home.
* The program does not completely surround around fun.
* The program concludes with a Parent/Camper picnic and graduation allowing for a significant opportunity to strengthen relationships.
