6th Grade Outdoor Education

For the past seven years, St. John’s sixth grade class has called Palomar Christian Conference Center, home. Every year during the fall, our sixth graders are given the opportunity to explore God’s creation and enjoy an outdoor, hands-on learning experience they will never forget. For four days the sixth graders are able to unplug and open their hearts and minds to the world of science in a whole new way. Students participate in various science classes, observe nature firsthand, horseback ride, zip-line, work through various team building exercises, grow together in God’s Word, and praise God through their voices. This year our devotional time was focused on being, “Redeemed, Renewed, and Reformed” through Christ.  Each night, a different teacher or group of teachers led a campfire devotion, and each morning students broke into small groups to dig deeper into Scripture. Outdoor Education gives students the chance to connect to God and their classmates in worship, grow together in small group Bible study, and when returning home, share their faith with others through what they’ve learned at camp. Thank you St. John’s for providing us with opportunities to grow in our faith! We are extremely grateful! By: Miss Sara Doyle
