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.

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?!
