Day 1

Board your overnight flight to Lyon, France, or Geneva, Switzerland!

Your Joshua Expeditions Guide will meet you in the airport, then you will board a private coach and start your journey to the Christian Retreat Camp tucked away in the French Alps near Grenoble, France. You’ll have an orientation of the camp and continue preparing for your role as counselors. In the afternoon, you’ll have opportunity to take a little hike of the area, followed by dinner before heading off to bed for the night.

Day 3

Today you will meet your campers and dive into almost two full weeks of sharing Christ through your role as camp counselor. You will use activities and classroom instruction to weave Truth throughout each day.

Day 4

The Christian Retreat Camp hosts children’s retreats each year in the summer and serves also as a Bible School for college students and adults. Your ministry will be focused on helping French youth learn English through classroom instruction and outdoor activities.

Day 5

Your daily ministry may include English instruction and challenges aimed at relationship and team building. Each activity will offer a platform to demonstrate your faith and the love of Christ.

Day 6

The relationships you build with the campers will assist you in sharing your faith on a daily basis. You might find opportunities while hiking or maybe after today’s classroom instruction.

Day 7

Today will conclude the 7-day itinerary. The group will head to the airport for the return flight to the U.S.

If your group chooses to extend the trip for an additional week, today’s activities might include rock climbing or repelling, among other outdoor sports. You will use every activity as an opportunity to share Christ through words and deeds as you continue building relationships with the youth.
