On this episode we have Jack and Rodger from the Pittsburgh Kids Foundation (PKF) to come on and speak about the role of camps in the discipleship of students. We all share camp stories, insights and ultimately what the purpose of camps should be.Often times camps and mission trips are what we rely on in youth ministry to gain momentum in a ministry year. That can end up in a "Tarzan Christianity" (Duffy Robbins), where students try to swing from one mountain top experience to another.So how can camp be a part of the discipleship process not just another fun thing on the calendar?
