Camping Leaders Guide

The Camping Module teaches boys how to enjoy and navigate the outdoors while helping them develop steadfastness—finishing what they start and persevering through challenges.

 

Practical Purpose: Equip boys with basic camping skills and help them learn perseverance by experiencing the joys and difficulties of outdoor living.

 

Boys Will Learn:

 

  • How to set up a campsite, use simple gear, and adapt to living with fewer comforts.

  • How to handle challenges such as rain, bugs, heat, or cold—and keep going even when conditions are tough.

  • That camping requires grit, teamwork, and a willingness to “make do” with what’s available.

Projects:

 

  • Practicing campsite setup, tent care, fire safety, and simple outdoor problem-solving.

  • Completing hands-on activities that build resilience, resourcefulness, and cooperation.

  • Working through Outpost Adventures Achievements that reinforce outdoor skills and steady perseverance.

Spiritual Goals:

 

  • Understand steadfastness as faithfully sticking with responsibilities despite obstacles.

  • Learn that God calls us to endure with patience, just as we persevere through challenges in the outdoors.

  • Recognize that spiritual growth often comes when we press on—trusting God in both comfort and hardship.
