There is nothing like sharing around a campfire, paddling a canoe in a clear river, or sleeping under the stars to make a heart tender and God’s voice near. As you leave technology, busy schedules and pounding distractions behind, your heart opens. It’s quiet inside. God speaks and you listen, teachable.

The wilderness tenderizes hearts towards God; that’s why we harness the power of the wilderness experience for you in Beyond our Borders program.

Beyond Our Borders, known as BOB Trips for short, are wilderness trips.  We believe the great outdoors usher in teachable moments in a thousand ways, a thousand times a day. God’s outdoors creates a perfect combination of fun, adventure and personal development; it is an amazing classroom for real-life growth. It stretches you beyond your borders, allowing you to see life, others and God from a fresh perspective. You grow physically and spiritually through the wilderness experience.

Whether the wilderness trip is for your urban youth, the youth group, ministry staff, or just for you, Camp Andrews desires to walk with you each step of your journey to create an atmosphere that promotes growth and spiritual development for you and your group.

We offer three unique trip options, tailored to fit your needs. Which is best for you?

> Guided Trips

Imagine your group out in the wilderness together for a week. We partner with you to bring a powerful experience to your group. Our guided trips are customized specifically for you.

In the past we have done biking, canoeing, snowboarding and hiking trips; the possibilities are unlimited. Our trained staff works with your ministry or situation to make it a perfect fit.  Give us a call and tell us about your group’s needs. We want to partner with you and give you the best experience possible.

> Unguided Trips

You have the experience, we have the gear. We allow you to use our gear and equipment for your team. This is especially designed for a team with leaders confident and able to lead wilderness trips.

> Open Enrollment Trips: Focus Trips (formerly known as Personal Development Trips)

Camp Andrews puts on Focus Trips every year. We have both guy and girl trips, running in the spring and autumn. These trips are powerful journeys of connecting with other Christian young people and experiencing God in a new way in the great outdoors. Focus Trips are challenging and full of adventure. It’s an intense time of personal development and discovery. There’s nothing like a wilderness expedition to bring you closer to God and each other.
