Allegheny Outback! (AO!)
At Allegheny Outback!, we seek to challenge teenagers to develop their very own personal knowledge of God by modeling Christ in real-life situations by facilitating an environment in which they must exhibit personal responsibility, work with others, and rely on God. During this six-day high school adventure program for rising 9th graders to recent high school graduates, the average AO! group consists of 10-15 teenage guys and girls, two college counselors, and an adult counselor (usually a retired or active duty officer).
Camp Caleb
Camp Caleb’s mission is to bring military youth into an authentic personal relationship with Jesus Christ, to strengthen their own family and peer relationships, and to prepare them for standing for Jesus Christ as teenagers. We accomplish this through Christ-centered teaching times, experiential learning, counselor-child relationships, and peer sharing/encouragement. At Camp Caleb, our passion is to spiritually equip children to face the struggles of modern-day society.
Parent-Youth Adventure Weekend
Parent-Youth Adventure Weekends are a time for a parent and child to get away from regular life and have fun connecting through games, high adventure, campfires, worship, and devotions. Designed for one parent and one child (ages 8-14, see specific weekend details for further age requirements), these weekends are an opportunity to build memories that will last a lifetime. Activities will vary depending on the adventure, but all of them will include a great time and great fellowship!
