Great Adventure Week is for Junior High and Senior High students (6th - 12th graders). The camp week will be similar to the other Junior High and Senior High camp weeks at Ridge Haven. However, we have altered the camp experience to be more outdoors and adventure focused. 

Great Adventure Week is designed for those who want to spend even more time in the beauty of the great outdoors. This week provides the opportunity to interact with God's creation up-close and personal with leaders, summer staff, and Bible teachers who love the Lord. 

Bring your hiking shoes! Campers will stay in our Open Air Cabins. Weather permitting, they will spend at least one night tent camping on campus. Campers will also enjoy favorites like archery, bouldering, and climbing—as well as plenty of lake time! All week, campers will enjoy God’s majestic creation. Plus, they will enjoy solid Biblical teaching and wonderful times of worship each day.

Brian grew up in Cincinnati and married Cheryl when she moved here to work at Kroger headquarters. Brian went to Miami University concurrent with Pastor Josh, graduating with a B.A. in Speech Communication. He served as a pastor of student ministry and church musician for over 15 years, with a short stint at a camp and retreat center. He graduated with a Masters of Divinity in Biblical Studies from Cincinnati Bible Seminary and was ordained a teaching elder in the PCA in November of 2013.
