Adventure
THE HFO ADVENTURE CREW LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
‘Adventure Crew’ consists of the student leadership of HFO—some of our high school students who are up for a little challenge!
Backpacking and canoeing sets the stage for intense team building, mentoring and leadership training, while students learn about their own ability to succeed in surprising situations. Previous trips have seen the heights of Tracy City, Tennessee and Durango, Colorado, as well a hike from rim-to-rim of the Grand Canyon.
“From training and succeeding in Adventure Crew I have learned that I should never give up on myself.”
KIDS ACROSS AMERICA
Each summer, HFO students and staff create programming to keep busy, continue learning and go on adventures. This usually includes a combination of educational and enrichment programming at HFO and a trip to Kids Across American in Branson Missouri.
The adventure camp called Kids Across America is a week-long experience that provides opportunities for swimming, hiking, climbing and Christian fellowship. KAA is a Christian Sports Camp for urban youth where our kids are led by college counselors hand -picked to love and lead our kids during their stay at camp. During camp the message of “God is first, others second, and I’m third” is brought home to the campers.
