Here’s an email we received from New Tribes Mission of Canada about Jungle Camp, you should check it out if you’re in the area!
Jungle Camp is an exciting part of our missionary training program, and is taking place at this time!
July 2 & 3 is our Visitor’s Weekend…
and you are invited to come!
Purpose of Jungle Camp: It is not about survival, but about preparation and planning ahead. And while students are living without modern conveniences, many more aspects come into play.
- It teaches students how to deal with change and the unknown, i.e. dirt,
bugs, weather, leaky roofs, smoky stoves, etc.
- It develops team work & conflict resolution.
- Living in a close community helps participants recognize their own need
while giving plenty of opportunity to be a blessing to
others.
It quickly becomes evident to the students that trusting God with life/s daily routine, mishaps, needs and relationships is necessary for joyful living.
Look out for these things:
How each family utilizes their solar energy, and how each one has chosen to bring plumbing indoors.
How many different house designs can you identify?
What have people done to make their house a home?
