Eagle’s Wings Camp - Ergli, Latvia
Teen Camp Mission Trip
A Trip For University Students and Young Adults
Purpose of the Trip
Being part of a week of camp provides opportunities for American young people to work alongside local Latvians, experience a different culture, and see how God is working around the world. The local teens also enjoy experiencing some different cultures from visiting teams and learning more about other parts of the world. Camp work is hard and bringing a team with fresh energy breaths some excitement into the local leaders and provides a better camp experience for the campers. Before and after camp the team will experience several cultural experiences, do some sightseeing, and have time to debrief the week.
Scope of the Work
Being a part of a week of camp provides opportunities to get plugged in and help out in so many ways. The key word for this trip is “flexibility”. Schedules are made but loosely kept. Teen week is extremely taxing physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Participants must be in good physical shape and capable of performing under high stress with very little sleep. It is important to know the local team is extremely helpful and able to assist wherever needed. Here are a few things you can expect on the trip:
Sharing in the work load of cleaning and prep work
Helping lead games and small groups
Connecting with campers and other leaders
Sharing personal testimonies
Learning more about yourself, another culture, and God
