Students enjoyed a full week of learning, fellowship, worship and outdoor adventure during Outdoor School at Camp Heritage.
Throughout the week, students spent their mornings engaged in hands-on classes designed to help them explore the world around them. Classes included Raptors, Weather and Watercolor, giving students opportunities to learn about nature, science and creativity in a fun outdoor setting.
After working hard in their classes, students had the chance to play hard as well. Time at the waterfront was a highlight, giving everyone an opportunity to relax, have fun and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Camp Heritage.
The activities continued with a lively game of dodgeball led by Iowa-Missouri Conference president Pastor Lee Rochholz. Students then came together for worship with Pastor Anthony Rudalf, providing an opportunity to pause from the day’s activities and focus on their relationship with God.
As the final full day at Camp Heritage came to a close, education superintendent Jovannah Poor Bear Adams reflected on the joy of spending the week with the students and the friendships built during their time together.
While everyone was tired after several busy days, there was also excitement about the opportunities ahead. Teachers, students and education leaders will continue connecting and creating memories throughout the school year, with many looking forward to gathering together again at Music Fest.
