What Is Camp Like?

Discover what happens at camp starting with arriving on campus to our warmest Worldview welcome!

Expect to be Welcomed & Encouraged.

From the time you arrive on campus, you will experience our signature hospitality —and by week’s end, you will be showing that hospitality, not just receiving it! Every moment at camp will be challenging … in the best possible way. You will think hard about your faith. You’ll face real issues and tough questions, and you won’t have to settle for easy answers. Your teachers and staff leaders will encourage and care for you, and your small group will be filled with students your age and sex. Don’t be surprised if you make new friends for a lifetime.

Expect to be Challenged.

Every moment at camp will be challenging ― in the best possible way. Students will think hard about their faith. They’ll face real issues and tough questions, and they won’t have to settle for easy answers. Faculty and staff join students on the field in ultimate frisbee and at meals to encourage and care for students.

You will spend 25+ hours in the classroom, and then you will take the lessons you’ve learned into the world. You and your small group will work together to solve a challenging leadership practicum. Mid-week at camp, you will leave campus to get some firsthand experience sharing the Gospel and applying apologetics with people you meet in public. By the time you head home, you may discover a spiritual strength you never anticipated as God awakens the leader within and equips you in grace and truth.

What Makes the Worldview Experience So Powerful?

These three key components of the camp experience are what makes Worldview Academy Camp so powerful:
Instruction: You will spend hours every morning and evening with the Worldview Academy faculty, engaging with lively multimedia lectures that challenge you to think in a more profoundly biblical way.
Discipleship: You’ll engage with your small group, led by a college-age staffer a few years farther down the path of faithfulness, a role model who will help you work through what you’re learning and apply it.
Formation: Throughout the week, you will experience spiritual formation through daily quiet times, and you will gain real-world experience through leadership and evangelism practicums.

Worldview Lecture Topics

Lectures at every Worldview Academy camp cover these topics from our Key Concepts:

Overview of Worldviews

We all start from prior assumptions and faith commitments. Worldviews are formed in response to the way the world challenges us. It’s important for Christians to embrace a biblical worldview, and helpful to understand how other people’s assumptions influence their thinking.

Servant Leadership

As Christians, we must be willing to sacrifice everything to God. As his stewards, he entrusts us with whatever we have. Therefore we must give of our wealth, time, and gifts with an open hand to minister to others and further his kingdom.

Taking Christ as our model, Christians lead through service rather than by taking and wielding power. The greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves (Luke 22).

The Leadership Practicum at Worldview Academy creates a challenge for students to overcome so that they can intentionally practice the 5 pillars of leadership (Meekness, Integrity, Vision, Attitude, and Empowerment), reflect on what they’ve experienced, and apply what they learn to the challenge and other parts of their lives.

Reliability of Scripture

The Bible is God’s Word, a trustworthy revelation of God to man. As a text, it is the best-attested manuscript in the ancient world. When interpreted properly, the Bible is utterly reliable on every matter it addresses.

Vocation

Because we are committed to the priesthood of believers, we embrace a robust view of vocation. Whatever work God calls us to do, we pursue it to the best of our ability to his honor and glory. There is honor and value in a job well done, whether it is “spiritual” work or not.

Creation

The first thing God reveals about himself in the Bible is that he is the creator. All subsequent Christian doctrine is based on this fact. But creation itself is under attack, as is the trustworthiness of scripture (whether via naturalism or old-earth models that elevate science over scripture).

God is the creator and we are part of his creation. As a result, we are in no position to judge His actions. He reveals Himself to us, and we have an obligation to love and obey Him.

Identity in Christ

Every individual is created in God’s image, and as an image-bearer deserves respect and value. God teaches us to serve him by serving those made in his image. This is why we believe that every person matters and reject the idea that wealth or resources are more valuable than people, or that individuals should be valued according to their merit or ability to produce.

Evangelism Training

As Christians, we want to take our faith out into the world, both in word and deed. We equip others to share their faith and answer questions they are likely to encounter. Through training and encouragement we build confidence.

We want to provoke others to question their false assumptions, so the style of apologetics we teach is based on asking questions. This method allows us to learn from those we speak with and at the same time direct them toward the shortcomings in their perspectives.

We are all influenced by our culture, but as cultural contributors, Christians can influence others for the good. We encourage scholarship, good works, and the arts as ways to minister to the surrounding world while pointing them toward truth.

The 4 Questions

We train students in how to ask good, penetrating questions that will reveal whether one’s thinking is consistent or inconsistent with reality. Each week we train students how to use these four “Killer” questions and allow them to practice using them.

  1. What do you mean by what you’re saying?
  2. How do you know that what you’re saying is true?
  3. What difference does what you’re saying make in your life?
  4. What if you’re wrong about what you believe, and you die?

Teaching for Impact.

Students spend more than 25 hours in the classroom with the Worldview Academy faculty, engaging with lively multimedia lectures that challenge them to think in a more profoundly biblical way.
