Why we are here
Why I am here
I am passionate about moving past stereotypes to be the hands and feet of Christ. It is incredible to see youth, families, and young adults alike begin to digest concepts of humility, courage, and perseverance through an outdoor adventure and experiential education context rooted in a Christian worldview. I also love seeing summer staff and staff step into leadership positions and lead others.
Background
Caleb grew up in Eastern Washington and was first introduced to the outdoors through his youth pastor. His experience backpacking in Idaho and Oregon expanded his perspective on how both rest and challenge can bring people into closer relationships with God and others. In college, he was a student at Prairie Bible College’s Explore program, which partnered with Camp Bighorn at the time. Here, he was able to develop his outdoor skills. Later, he came on staff in 2008, launching the Venture program which partners with organizations serving youth and adults at risk. Caleb loves white water kayaking, camping, hiking, and spending time with his 11 year-old daughter, Aneliese!
