Camping

Spending time in the great outdoors has benefits you may never have realized.

Camping

If you don’t believe it, try it out!

Camping

Camping has always been a great family recreation. There are scientific reasons for this, but there is also great spiritual benefit as well. Though I run Shepherd’s Hill Academy where students spend a solid year living in the woods, I did not come from a family of campers, nor did I ever care to go. It was not until the proving ground of Shepherd’s Hill that I became convinced of the therapeutic benefits of nature, quiet, and the joy of sitting around a fire with loved ones. This was when I started going camping myself.

Even if you can’t afford a tent, you can afford a fire. Even if it is just in your own backyard, get your whole family out there some night. An awkward silence at first might turn into a wonderful family breakthrough.

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
