Voyageurs Ministry

This program can be a really exciting one for both boys and counselors. The concept is that the counselor picks an interest area that is particularly close to him. Maybe he is an avid backpacker, or maybe a custom furniture craftsman, or maybe an auto mechanic. But whatever his interest, he can develop that interest into a learning experience for the boys. A typical club will meet on a weeknight at the counselor's home or shop. The group will spend some time in Bible study and, of course, the project. It is not unusual for the project to be a year-long endeavor. In the case of a backpacking group, they may spend eight months planning, and training, leading up to a one or two week summer backpacking trip.

The independent nature of this program and the dependence on a counselor's expertise means that the materials come in the form of resource booklets. They will help you get organized and find the appropriate Bible study and skill materials that you need.
