2010 Summer Programs
With the primary focus on young people, all the resources of Doe River Gorge are woven together to create a series of progressive, challenging programs for those eight years old through college. These experiences lead to exponential personal growth and development resulting in real-life change. They provide the foundation needed to reach your potential and live the adventure that God intended.
These programs focus on: a positive self-worth and identity, new competencies, social skills, a firm Bible-centered foundation, solid Christian character, and leadership.
Our staff is the most hard-working, kid-loving, God-honoring, group of college students that can be found in America. All summer staff receive 15 days of intensive training. With a counselor/student ratio of 2:8 and an overall staff/student ratio of 1:2, we are able to provide personalized supervision, instruction, and attention to assure program effectiveness.
Safety is top priority. While danger is inherent in any adventure activity, we seek to minimize that danger through well-designed courses, top-quality equipment, and well-trained staff. All adventure courses are professionally designed and independently inspected. Summer staff are certified in First Aid and CPR. There is a 1600 square foot health center staffed by a registered nurse. We also maintain a close relationship with the local EMS and Wings Air Rescue.
