Rock-N-Water's Educational Value

Equipping campers to recognize their Creator through outdoor adventures

All of Rock-N-Water’s camps or retreats have specific educational objectives, agreed upon between the group leader and Rock-N-Water staff, and require the attendance and general participation of all campers at daily lessons or day-long activities. One of our most passionate and common educational objectives is to equip campers to recognize their Creator while physically experiencing His Creation, but there are numerous educational objectives our adventurous courses can pursue such as: Christian leadership, loving and practical friendship, group unity, communication, history, physical education, problem solving, and conservation. There are a variety of approaches to achieving these goals that are customized to each group and activity, but the most common tools we expect you to see utilized are: the exemplary Christian leadership and knowledge of your guide, nature, friendship, adventurous challenge, and FUN!

We believe that this style of outdoor education will be increasingly valued as the church and educational institutions realize the currently overlooked, critical need that most of today's students have; individuals are not experiencing God in the most foundational way He has provided for them. They are growing up indoors almost completely protected from His creation and their faith is potentially missing a depth of conviction that used to be provided through daily, required interaction with the natural world. As we learn more about the deficiencies of raising children indoors, organizations will become progressively intentional about addressing their unmet developmental needs with specific outdoor activities. The 2008 passing of the "No Child Left Inside Act" is only the beginning of a realization that youth leaders and educators now need to provide for students in ways that were previously unnecessary. Physically, mentally, socially, emotionally and spiritually we believe humans need significant amounts of interaction with what God has made and Rock-N-Water is committed to being a relevant source for meeting that need.
