Justice Outreach Project is a week’s worth of service, learning, and solidarity. Centered on the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, JOP is about engaging in meaningful, Christ-centered relationships with the Blackfeet. Focused on the needs & capabilities of young people by placing them outside their comfort zone, this extraordinarily fun and unique adventure crosses the borders of race and culture. Each day is unique, but they all include a mix of prayer, worship, work, play, and cultural immersion.

Theology of Adventure Camp is aimed at exploring the bold outlook on life that each one of us is made for adventure—a life lived boldly in pursuit of ultimate truth and goodness, uninhibited by fear, hesitation, or self-centeredness. It’s a radical way of life, but it’s the only one we’re interested in. The week is split into two unique environments: the first is a classroom-based experience on Carroll’s campus, and the second is a wilderness adventure set against the Western Montana backcountry. Come and experience what Carroll College’s driving adventurous philosophy is all about.
Perfect blend of rigorous wilderness immersion and campus-centered intellectual engagement. For high school youth entering grades 9-12.
July 30-August 5.
