Teacher TEstimonies

Here at Alpine we have the privilege and honor to witness students grow in such a short amount of time. Here's some warming stories shared by some of our most esteemed teachers and leaders that visit our Outdoor Education program. Enjoy!
​God can mend broken hearts, and broken friendships. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, longtime friends were  reunited during Outdoor Adventure Camp. These two 11 year-olds were able to sit down, and hear each other out for the first time since their parting. The Lord open their hearts and their ears. They were able to see and understand what had gone wrong with their friendship. Thank you Jesus for using Alpine to draw two friends closer to You.

​This year was my 15th trip to Alpine with my class.  It never gets old.  It is great to see my students grow in their relationships with each other and with God. They always make many special memories.  Alpine always has such an amazing staff.  They are not only excellent at leading the activities, but also in their interactions with the students.  I look forward each year to our Alpine trip.
 
 
My students this year were talking about Oracle & Cloud 9 all the way to the end of the year.  Literally--a couple of the kids even mentioned their trail leaders in their graduation speeches.  They also wanted to sing one of the songs they heard up at Alpine for graduation, so we did. ("Fix My Eyes" by For King & Country)

Keep up the good work.
I have been taking students to Alpine for Outdoor Education for 15 years.  This place is like a second home.  The staff are always so welcoming and fun. It is such a joy to watch my students grow in their learning without even realizing they are learning! Being outside and doing activities that are challenging and enjoyable make learning way more fun than in the classroom. The staff teach throughout the whole experience as we interact with the world outdoors.  My students come back and tell me what they have learned and I’m amazed by what they retain.  As for the chapels and morning devotions, they have grown in their faith.  With the help of team building and experiencing God’s love for them they have grown in the knowledge of a deeper understanding of Christ in their lives.  We have all been truly blessed by this camp and can’t wait to come again this year!!

​We've been bringing our sixth graders to Alpine's Outdoor Education camp for over ten years. From folk dancing to nature hikes, to festive meal times and inspirational chapels, Alpine does it better than any other camp in this area. The trip is always the highlight of the kids' whole sixth grade year! Our students come to camp feeling a bit nervous and unsure what to expect, and they leave confident in the three Cs, more trusting of each other as a team, and closer to Jesus than they've ever been. ​         

​Watching their camp transformations has been so moving for us, their teachers. And it's a nice vacation for us too! Alpine leaders take care of everything and lead the kids in a professional, yet super engaging way.


Michael and his team are fast in responding, great in organization and very easy to work with. They bless us countless times when we're on their campus! Thank you to Alpine for being a place where all of us find peace, fun, encouragement, self-confidence, and, most importantly, Jesus' mega love for us. Save us a spot forever, okay?!

Camp was amazing! Donny is the best trail leader EVER!!! The food was delicious! The rock climbing was the most self-esteem building activity! It pushed me past what I thought I could do and made me feel like I can make it through anything if I put my mind to it. So, thank you Alpine for giving me self-esteem!

I had the most amazing time at camp. I kinda didn't want to go, but I'm so glad my mom made me. I did a ton of things I'd never done, or have been too scared to even THINK of doing. I learned to trust others, and not just depend on myself for everything.

This week I had an amazing time. I learned so much more about God than I ever knew before. Baloo's sermon on forgiveness helped me start to forgive my dad and climbing trees gave me confidence I never thought I would ever had. Jacob helped us realized teamwork makes everything easier and I became closer to my classmates in a way I never was before. Alpine is awesome!

When I arrived I felt unsure and nervous, but now I feel free and comfortable. Jake was the best trail leader I could ask for and the experiences of the ropes course and zipline were scary but awesome. Best camp ever! All I can say is thank you Alpine. Bless you and your staff

My week at camp started with a very interesting first impression from the camp leaders. We went on a fun hike while learning everyones names then next day we went on the innertubes and on the zipline. We had a fun time the next day doing things on the trees. We also in the end saw everyone's skits which was very entertaining even when the Old Spice and Raisins. Overall it was the best thing ever.

Something I learned this week is that we are all valuable and we really need to take care of ourselves. I had really fun in this camp. I will miss this. I am really amazed because in Korea we don't have this kind at camp or camp trail leaders. I thank you to all. I will never forget about this. this is my best memory in my life.

Coming to camp was not so much fun sitting on a bus forever but once we got here all the trail leaders were really nice and they made me feel good about myself. I can't wait until my little brother and sister come to have the same experience as me I loved it!!

My week at camp was super fun because I got to experience many new things! Three years ago I would never have imagined that I'd be jumping off trees and ziplining over a forest or letting a snake slither through my hands! The trail leaders made the camp to be amazing and I think that Alpine has brought my friends and I closer. I definitely want to come back during the summer.

I never knew how much the wilderness interacted with us. I loved learning about the plants. This has been one of the best experiences of my life. I never imagined it to be this fun. I think the best part was getting to know the staff. I felt at home the whole time. Everyone was so sweet and helpful, the staff was encouraging too. I felt really good about myself. I love how safe I felt too. When I was up in the trees I felt safer than standing on the ground!

My week at camp was absolutely great. I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. Learning about God's creation gave me more appreciation for it and made me really thankful. Over the course of camp I have definitely learned so much and became really close to my fellow peers. It exceeded my expectations wildly. This was my last year so I will not be coming back and I am very pleased to say that I enjoyed this camp very much.

When we got here we were greeted nicely, which was amazing. Over the week, we did really fun things that helped build our trust in each other. The ropes course was great. Food was spot on! The Trail Leaders are the best, especially Charmander. I really wish I could stay here forever! Thank you staff for making this the best week of my life! I've been to Europe, Canada, and about 15 states in the U.S.A and this is the only place that I've never wanted to leave. Thank you SO MUCH!

I was sort of scared at the beginning when we came to Alpine, but when my friends and Charmander cheered me on it really helped. Ziplining was really fun! Everything was fun! Learning about the plants was interesting. I think Alpine is so cool! Thank you Alpine for treating my class well.
