SHERPA
Looking for something adventurous to do with your summer? Are you looking for new ways to act on your Faith in Jesus? Come serve on the Sherpa team at Expeditions!
Sherpas play a vital part in accomplishing Camp’s mission in the summer by serving behind the scenes so our staff can guide adventure trips at camp. They also get the opportunity to learn and grow through Bible studies, living in christian community, and outdoor adventures. If you’re looking for a summer of growth and adventure then this summer opportunity just might be the one for you!
Service
As part of the Sherpa program students have the opportunity to learn to serve selflessly at camp.
Sherpas help out with many of the basic day-to-day functions of camp such as dishes and cabin cleaning so the guiding staff can focus on running adventure trips well. They also play an important role in assisting the guides with activities such as high ropes, paintball, climbing, canoeing, and more!
Discipleship
In Sherpa the students will consider how being a disciple of Jesus applies to everything they do.
On top of serving and learning to love their community, students are given time daily for personal devotions and take part in two Bible studies per week. These opportunities challenge the students to deepen their understanding of God's word and their relationship with Him. Throughout the summer, students also live, play, and serve alongside Christian leaders who can help the students as they navigate life's tough questions and challenges.
Community
Students get to be a part of a community that will work together to serve the Lord.
Living, serving, and playing in community can help students identify the ways they are specifically gifted as a part of the body of Christ. Experiencing everything that Expeditions has to offer in the context of Christian community is one of the biggest factors in the sherpas’ growth each summer. Whether it is adventure trips, serving, or studying, the community of believers is one of the most vital parts of pointing students to Christ.
OUR MISSION
Our mission for the Sherpa program is to provide an experience in which high school students can focus on their discipleship to Jesus and grow in their relationship with the Lord by learning to serve and developing a work ethic that brings glory to God, engaging in Christian community, and spending time studying His Word.

These individuals participate in each of the tasks alongside the Sherpa team, they live with the sherpas, and therefore play a large role in helping the sherpas understand healthy community dynamics.
