Now THIS is Experiential Learning.

Forget about simulation. Here at Campamento Roblealto campers were given extreme challenges that may seem like torture but were amazing chances for learning critical messages. 

Objective: sit in the sprinkler. No more instructions were given. The lesson was to not be afraid to ask for help. Once the group decided to pray, the tap was turned off.
"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Luke 11:9 



Objective: to carry the log through the river. The lesson was that sometimes it's hard to be a Christian.
"But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed." 1 Peter 4:13





Objective: first the team will pull their team member up to the platform, then the climber has to get across the "shark pit" on their own. Lesson: your team will raise you up and after getting support we have the confidence to go alone when we have to. 
"From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work" Ephesians 4:16







Objective: as a group, literally joined together, go get the pieces and then work together to build a house. 
"The body is unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ." 1 Cor. 12:12


Enjoying the sunshine,
