POLL: Nature and Youth Ministry

I spent part of this past week kayaking the American River with Rock-N-Water Christian Camps. It was so fun, hanging with youth ministry couples and talking about marriage and youth ministry. Craig, the director of the camp, shared his heart and passion for getting students into nature to help them focus on the Creator and out of the man-made surroundings and man-made wonders of the world. It was incredible, and got me thinking – how often do you take your students out into nature? I’d imagine answers will range from never to all of the time, right? Vote now!
