Short-term Missions Trip
Extreme Leadership Training camp - August option (Ukraine)
Using adventure sports and team-building games with leaders and potential leaders to encourage personal growth, communication skills, teamwork, and leadership skills.
After a short time of orientation you will participate in a 3-day extreme leadership training camp with young adults from local churches.
During the extreme leadership camp you will be challenged to grow in your walk with God, to grow as a leader/potential leader, to expand your comfort zone, to know your weaknesses and strengths, and to work well as a team with people who may be different from yourself. You can participate alongside the local Christian Ukrainian youth, at the same time building friendships with them and encourage them. You can participate in a few games as time allows.
Participants welcome: participate in the camp along with the local young adults. If you have already experience in other kinds of sports ministry and would like to expand your horizon, you will find this an interesting opportunity. Living conditions will be primitive – camp life! Come with an open heart to love and share your life with a different culture.
During both the training and the camp you will stay in simple accommodation.
Good Ukrainian food, prepared at the camp site or arranged by the trainers.
You have to either fly into and out of Kiev Borispil Airport or travel by train to Rivne Train Station. Everything else is organized by the team.
We will pick you up at either Kiev Borispil Airport or Rivne Train Station. It is about a 5 hour trip from Kiev Borispil Airport to Rivne.
Good health, able to participate in adventure sports and team-building games!
