\t\t\t\t\u201cI think I\u2019ll try climbing the most difficult rock face, because we keep it extreme!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis down hill crawlspace looks like a tight fit\u2026I\u2019ll do it head first! Gotta keep it extreme.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s see how many people we can fit in one canoe\u2026and let\u2019s act like pirates at the same time! Keepin\u2019 it extreme!\u201d<\/p>\n
The Campers of Youth Challenge Camp at Brethren Woods no only know how to have a fun filled week of camp, but, as their motto for that week says, they \u201cKeep it extreme!\u201d From a day worth of canoeing on the rapids of the Shenandoah river, to crawling into the depths of the Earth with caving and then climbing vertically to the clouds with rock climbing in West Virginia, what an adventure it was to be a part of this group all week! While Peace Team got to lead a session for the other younger campers, we primarily followed the youth challenge camp\u2019s schedule. What a blast!<\/p>\n
What was most \u201cextreme\u201d about the senior high campers was the joy and compassion in between the official \u201cadventures.\u201d Like staging a spontaneous \u201csit-in\u201d after a meal or creating a human tunnel for other groups entering the dinning hall; what fun! Or, accepting everyone in the group and forming meaningful friendships; what compassion! Or laughing for hours as we looked at God\u2019s star-filled sky; what community! Those youth at Brethren Woods, like the other campers and counselors there, taught us a thing or two about how to keep everything in life extreme\u2026specifically the joy in community.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
