Colorado Outdoor Adventure!
May 20 to June 2, 2025 - APPLY BELOW

Come join Master Plan Ministries in the Rocky Mountains for a life-changing start to your summer you will never forget. The Crush Fear summer project is two week outdoor adventure that equips you to better follow Jesus and expand His kingdom. This exciting project is located at Three Trails Ranch in the mountains near Durango, Colorado.

When you come to the Crush Fear summer project, Master Plan staff will help you learn more about God and grow deeper in your relationship with Him through God's word. Students from around the region will come to experience Christian growth in a whole new way! Some of the training activities we plan to do together are:

Leadership Trek- Guide your team of students in a race against other teams through the Weminuche Wilderness using your wits and a compass!

Group Camping- Set up a camp in the wilderness together, and learn the basics of primitive camping

Overnight Solo Optional Challenge- Sleep overnight in a secluded individual spot in the wilderness with your sleeping bag, Bible, journal, and not much else! You will be within ear-shot of a staff member and other students, but no one in sight.

Public Speaking- Write out your personal testimony and share it at a local church service.

Evangelism- Get training and head out to town in small groups to meet people and share Jesus with summer tourists and locals in town that are willing to talk.

High Ropes Course- Learn the meaning of faith when you hang off a rope and go over the edge, zip down a line, climb a wall or do the "skywalks"!

Cross Cultural Experience- Learn about another culture as we plan to visit a local Native American reservation. This training activity to be determined if it will happen in 2025.

Bible Teaching- Get training, and put together a Bible study or public speaking message you will share with your peers.

Ouray Via Ferrata Optional Challenge- This is a extremely exciting mountain climbing adventure in the "Switzerland of America"

And so much more! Have the time of your life while you learn how to prepare others to reach and influence the world for Christ!
