What to Expect
Elevations’ purpose is to provide a mountain experience that prepares and equips teenagers to live out their faith and then immediately offers the opportunity for outreach and further growth in the city. Participants should return home with a greater understanding of God’s desire to use them and a deeper dependence on God.
Upon arrival, the first half of the adventure takes place in the Rocky Mountains where participants backpack, work together, attempt to summit a mountain, and grow in the accelerator of God’s creation. The mountains provide a natural classroom for team building, personal study, and equipping for ministry.
All will descend from the mountain with a newfound passion and readiness to serve and find adventure among people and in the city. The second half of the experience takes place in the depths of Denver where the lessons of higher elevations are immediately put into practice.
Elevations is a program of Dry Bones Denver. Groups are led by the Dry Bones ministry team. Participants will be involved in various opportunities that are all focused on building genuine and meaningful relationships among homeless youth and young adults. The group will host picnics in parks, take their new friends to a movie, be a part of Dry Bones’ weekly bowling night, tour the Denver underground, and much more (all activities included in Elevations fee). All of the activities will lead to new relationships that live out the love of Christ. The combination of growth on the mountain and experience in the city is a springboard for the challenge of developing the heart for a life of everyday ministry among friends and peers at home.
