WHAT IS JUNGLE CAMP
Jungle Camp is a time where we will spend a month living in the "Bush" (woods on campus) in a house we built out of plastic and cedar poles, all held together with duct tape. We have been preparing a room with everything we need for that month as we won't be able to leave!
WHY DO WE HAVE JUNGLE CAMP
Our whole class is training to be involved with New Tribes Mission, some will likely end up in remote tribal locations. Most of us will be in places without all of our modern day conviniences. Jungle camp is very practical training. It will teach us how to prepare for long amounts of time without opportunity to get groceries. It will give us an idea of what it's like to live in isolation from the world with the same group of people everyday. It will teach us team work as we will need eachother help with certain things such as building our houses. We are very much looking forward to this time, but also very overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done before we are finally living out there
Jungle Camp building begins on Monday, and I will try my best to update you each day with pictures of our progress! Here's what we've got so far:
This was once our spare room. It is now where we pile everything we will need for Jungle Camp
