Snowbird Outfitters Inc

I'm amazed by the positive & life changing impact Snowbird Outfitters, Inc. has had and continues to have on the lives of today's youth. Their love for Christ and commitment to confront students with the life-changing message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through teaching, recreation and personal relationships is unbelievable. Both my son and daughter attended camp this summer for the first time and I can say without reservation that they returned changed. They keep talking about their experiences and can't wait to return next summer. Thank You Snowbird for your commitment to Christ and obedience in serving him in the camp ministry.

Snowbird Wildernes Outfitters continues to excel at impacting the lives of teenagers. Their dedicated staff creates environments where teenagers are challenged physically, mentally, and spiritually. They truly desire to relate to students on a one on one basis for development. I have never experienced an organization more able to remain passionate and intentional in developing today's teens.

I have been to Snowbird Wilderness two times as a chaperone with out church's youth group, and my husband has been twice as a chaperone. Snowbird is a wonderful place!!! The staff cares about each and every child, and the youth feel they are loved and valued. The youth make life-long friends with the staff and stay in touch. There is always plenty to do at Snowbird; they definitely keep you busy the whole time. The worship experience is awesome!!! You can definitely feel the God's presence at Snowbird! Many youth make the decision to follow Jesus Christ by going to Snowbird. I highly recommend Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters! I plan to chaperone again soon if I am able.

I've been going to Snowbird since I was in youth (17 yrs old)...I am now a 31 year old youth pastors wife & youth leader :) There is no other camp like Snowbird. The staff are exceptional, they take the time to get to know our students and push them past their comfort zones and after the week is over still have an interest in their lives! It has become a sanctuary for our students who don't "fit" in like the rest of the kids and meets students right where they need it! I recommend Snowbird to every person inquiring about a place to go where God is made real, not only to students, but adult leaders as well :) Their t-shirts are pretty stinkin awesome too ;)

There staff is fantastic. They take time to know each and every person who comes through there doors, and remembers them when they come back. They live for Christ and don't just talk. They do exactly what they say they will. Brody Holloway is absolutly amazing and keeps everyone and everything fun and organized.

thanks to brody and others at snowbird i have grown alot in my walk with Christ. and some of the things i once feared have left me. there outlook is awesome. i love that they support misssions 110%. LOVE U GUYS LOTS. Eric Crisp

Snowbird was AMAZING. God really spoke to me about the things I did and the way I was living my life. Deffinitly a life changing experience and I reccomend it for anyone who's up for a good time. (:

Snowbird is honestly the most life changing experience I have ever gone through. The leaders there build relationships with every camper that come through the camp. As soon as my church arrived there we were greeted with smiles and met many leaders that would be with us the entire visit. They talked about our personal life our relationship with God and other things. They even sat with us at meals and got us over our fears of the different events available to enjoy at the camp. The messages were all relatable and they did many skits and amazing worship services! The Snowbird staff even visits our church atleast once a year to vivsit with our youth. My church has been going to this for camp for five years now. There is an activity for everyone there and after all these years i still enjoy every visit more and more

I have three children that have been involved with SWO. My two oldest sons have gone on to become preachers and my youngest daughter has spent the past four years at camp. She hopes to become a camp counselor this summer. Over the course of 20 years that I have raised my four children, this has been the best influence by far. I cannot express how much this organization means to my life and the life of my children.

I have went to Snow Bird summer camp for several years. It is the only camp I consider bring my students to. It is the most impactful camp when it comes to spiritual break through and disciplship. The leaders there are pasionate and genuinly love our students.

SnowBird is a wonderful christian camp that is a safe place for kids to get away from the stress of life and grow closer to Jesus. At Snowbird there is a wonderful staff that is always willing to help and it is a wonderful experience. Snowbird has lots of fun activities that you can participate in, and there is never a dull moment at SnowBird!

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is a leader among youth summer camps. I attended as a youth member in the late 90's and all I can say about my experience at Snowbird is wow. It's really amazing what God is doing there. They are changing lives of young men and women like I have never seen. My life was changed after a week there and I have never been the same. The staff work very close to the campers providing a fun atmosphere that glorifies God.

I was a youth parent when I first attended summer camp with our church's youth group. This was before Snowbird even had real bathhouses-porta pottiess work but ugg. Anyway, the Bible studies, the lessons for the students were wonderful. The skits either crack you up or tear you up depending on their motive. My own children loved it. Once we were stuck in St. Maarten in the Carribean because a volcano had errupted and no planes could fly, but all my children could think about was that they were suppose to be at Camp Snowbird and they were missing it! Awesome leadership, sincere teachers of the word, and crazy fun is what I think of for Snowbird.

Snowbird is an amazing adventure of many sorts. Each staff member truly cares about impacting the lives of every individual. They are exceptionally passionate about reaching out to kids and enriching their lives. The devotion of the staff and the excitement and enjoyment of the camp's activities are, without a doubt, a life changing experience.

I have known about and been associated with Snowbird for about 10 years. My son has been there as a student volunteer and as a staff member .
I have been on campus many times at services and after services during "small group" times and watched as lives were literally changed including students and leaders'.
This is a "1st class' organization.

I was able to partner with Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters in a ministry capacity last year to help make an eternal difference in the lives of junior high and high school students. I've never before partnered with a group of people who were more passionate about impacting students' lives than the staff at SWO.
Snowbird does a great job at providing high-impact outdoor recreation for students in a fun and crazy environment while simultaneously providing personal discipleship and spiritual guidance.

My three kids had all been campers for years at SWO. Then two years ago I was a chaperon for our church Youth group and I was able to see first hand why my kids were so impressed with the whole SWO experience. The staff and counselors are genuinely interested in sharing the love of Christ with each camper, and they go to great lengths in expressing that love.

Snowbird is an amazing camp that has impacted thousands of kids. They sacrifice so much to invest in the next generation. They make sure that each student is reached in one way or another.

Snowbird Outfitters is a light in the Andrews community. The staff at Snowbird are known by all the highschool kids for their stand for Christ. Staff members are eagar to help any in capacity and always with a servants heart.

Snowbird has a very special place in my family's heart by being an inspiration to my two daughters!

I have been to Snowbird several times for summer camp and once during Spring Break to help with missions projects. I can honestly say that I've never been to a camp like Snowbird before. The sermons, music, recreational activities, opportunities for fellowship, relatable staff, and awesome skits create an atmosphere that campers thoroughly enjoy and desire to partipate in. Any person, no matter where he is in his walk with Christ, can grow from Snowbird in some way. The recreational activities inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and trust Christ to help me complete tasks that I was truly afraid of, such as the Goliath Swing. I also remember we paired up with someone we didn't know and shared our testimonies with that person. I have gone to church my whole life, but I don't think I'd ever actually shared my life story with anyone like that before.

I have visited Snowbird on one ocassion for a men's retreat and immediately made plans for my next trip, which is coming up on March 11, 2011. The facilities were very nice, the grounds were clean and beautiful. I received great spiritual encouragement anf have seven friends returning with me this year. The break out learning sessions and recreational events were extremely powerful and relaxing.
I would refer any of my friends or youth groups to this camp.

SWO is a great camp. The activities and recreation make this camp the most flexible and fun a student can have. The staff is what sets this camp apart from all other youth church camps. They hire a large staff to student ratio and that means that college students are trying to engage your students in conversation to help point them to Christ and help them understand the world from a Biblical perspecitve.

As a youth pastor I appreciate the logs that the staff fills out and the camp mails to me as a follow up. It helps me know understand and love my students even better.

Best youth camp I have ever been to!!

Snowbird is definitely a doctrine centered ministry. Students leave after a week having learned so much about who Christ is and what it looks like to follow Him. They also leave having learned about what their own relationship with Christ looks like. All while keeping kids entertained with the high advnture recs.

SWO has truly impacted my life. I worked at SWO for several years and know quality of the people in leadership and the quality of the ministry that takes place at SWO.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is all about sharing the love of Jesus Christ with young people who need attention, understanding, love and a Savior. My daughter worked as a counselor there one summer and grew more spiritually and in compassion for others than she had in all of her previous years I believe. While ministering to others full-time, she gained a lifetime experience that set the stage for the remainder of her life.
Our entire family visited the camp and saw first hand the extreme challenges and offerings that are given to the campers. My son has just become a youth minister in Virginia and has as one of his goals to get his "city-grown" youth to experience the growing process at Snowbird - soon!
We praise the Lord that ordinary people like the creators of Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters have granted extraordinary experiences to so many children.

I got know Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters through my daughter who volunteered there for 2 years. I have had the opportunity to visit many times. I was truly amazed by the dedication of the staff and their families in serving the youth that attend there and to serving our Lord and Savior. The camp opens their beautiful camp grounds for so many to enjoy. The recreational activities are very adventurous and offer new experiences to many people, including myself. I am not usually one for much adventure, but was talked into riding their three man swing (which is a large, very high swing). I loved every min! The staff also does a wonderful job pouring their all into the worship, teaching, and making their skits very unique and powerful. Snowbird has definitely left a positive impression in my life and I have been able to see it positively affect others as well. Also, recently, I experienced a challenging time of illness. The staff and families at Snowbird supported me through love, prayers and encouraging notes and calls. Their care for me and my family truly meant a lot.

SNOWBIRD has been an extraordinary blessing to me and to those I serve. By going above and beyond the call of duty to meet the needs of those they are serving, they have affectively raised the bar—setting a new high standard for how an organization should be run, and how people should be served. In ever aspect of their service, they have one simple and simultaneously daunting goal: Meet as many needs of as many people in as many ways as possible.
SNOWBIRD has been a vital part of what I do as a student pastor. They not only provide the students with top notch facilities and quality activities, but they make the planning process as stress free as possible. Taking students out of state is the most stressful part of my job, but my workers and I relish the times at SNOWBIRD. It is a time where we can be refreshed and connect with our students. Not enough can be said about SNOWBIRD WILDERNESS OUTFITTERS. It truly is a joy to spend time with people who not only love what they do, but that love the God and people they do it for. At SNOWBIRD everyone is family.

I was a camp counselor for Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters the summer of 2008. I grew in my relationship with the Lord and I loved fellowshiping with other believers through worship. I enjoyed being around teenagers and being a mentor to them. SWO challenged me to grow spiritually to love others no matter what.

Attended a service that Brody Holloway spoke at and was blown away by his unyielding delivery of the Gospel. He is a great speaker with a true heart for God and the movement of the Gospel into the world.

My wife and I have attended a couples weekend for the past three years and we absolutely love it. I am impressed with how the staff loves the Lord and it shows in everything they do. The teaching is biblical and practical for my marriage. The staff really cares about helping in every way for my marriage to work and go beyond. The atmosphere is wonderful and the sleeping arrangements are good too. We are well taken care of when if comes to food. I enjoy the skills/fun time with my wife. I feel safe and that they are competent in what they do. I can't wait to go back each year and take more people with us.

Fun place to learn and grow in Christ.

Filled with activities that challenge in levels and ways that are far from the norm.

My husband and I have been to SWO for the Couples Marriage retreat and also our son has been there for summer camp as well. SWO is such an inspiring place to be challenged in your faith to do real work for God and also a place for discipleship, education and growth in The Word.

We feel so blessed to have access to a place that is working for The Kingdom!

I have been apart of Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters for 5 years now. it is one of the best places I have ever been a part of. It has not only changed my life but many people involved in my every day life. It has started a ripple affect in my community like I have never seen before. It was at snowbird I choose my direction in life and the staff there helped me understand my purpose in life.
One thing I know that would make Snowbird a better place and camp, is if they had the money to pay staff members more. Also if it was possible to have more people in 1 summer then they have currently.

This is a tremendous camp and I am so grateful for them. I have been bringing students to Snowbird for over 10 years. In 12+ years of student ministry I have seen tons of camps and none really compare to Snowbird. This camp is filled with solid teaching, tons of recreation, and well trained staff. Students are able to easily find recreation that appeals to them, and staff that are able to relate to them no matter where they are in life. This camp also communicates and partners with churches like none I have ever seen. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a camp!

Amazing experience! I will never forget the lessons I learned while there. Quite memorable and life changing.

Snowbird Outfitters is an exceptional, God-filled ministry reaching out to the hearts of pre-teens, teens, and young adults. They have every kind of activity you could want to have a fun-filled week of camp, but, more importantly, they have a staff called of God to share the Gospel and the life-changing hope of Jesus Christ.

Our church's youth group got involed with SWO nearly 7 years ago, i think and it has changed many of their lives. I accuse my own sons of going to Mt. Sinai when they go to SWO because they come back with the radiance of the Lord. I think combining incredible sporting opportunities with intense Bible study and emphasis on personally knowing Christ is a genius idea. It is unique in drawing the male crowd which usually don't participate in typical "church camps." Keep up the wonderful work for the Kingdom, SWO.

Snowbird is the best place for young adults to create leadership and learn to walk with Jesus. I have been a guest at Snowbird several times and each time I come away witha renewed sense of Gods love for his creations. I recommend Snowbird to everyone!!!

My son has experienced SWO for two summers and both times came home hearing from the Lord and experiencing the Lord on an intimate level. That to me, as a parent, is priceless! I have known several youth then feel the need to serve during the summer when they came of age to volunteer. To me SWO has encouraged the youth to grow spiritually and to stand on the front lines for Him. I have seen tremendous growth coming from our youth due to the impact of SWO.
The added bonus to SWO is all the activities they provide for the children. It truly is an experience that they will NEVER forget!

My experience with Snowbird began many years ago...don't actually remember the year ,but it was before they started the summer camps and had the winter weekend retreats in the barn....my guess is 2000.It was an unbelievable spiritual adventure.We bunked in the barn,had sandwiches there,went over to Cataloochee to ski.But the awesome thing was the staff and their instant connection to the students. Steve Coleman and Brody quickly caught,and kept,the interest of the youth. We went home refreshed and full of God's spirit. I was super excited when my youth group expressed an interest in going to Snowbird's summer camp . What a change!The staff has worked so hard to create the perfect setting ...with a lot of help from The Great Creator!! Again,the atmosphere was electric with passion for the Word. Steve and Brody do not mince words..they teach the Biblical Truth,but in a way that young people find challenging and positive. The camp itself is awesome.The one-on-one with counselors was inspired, and my young people found new friends and new role-models the week in Andrews. I commend Steve Coleman and his staff for remaining true to their vision.The adventures are awesome...loved puddle -jumping and even the Zip-line...the music was fabulous...the skits dynamic...and the drama at the end of the week was magnificant!! If ever an organization deserved acclaim and support it is Snowbird...our young people are hungry for the foundation it supplies so beautifully!

My life has been touched by snowbird an so many ways!!! To see that there are Godly men and women out there that want to love on other teenagers in a purely Godly way, just blows my mind. They have the best youth and leadership!!! I have seen teens change thier lives from a week at Snowbird and have seen adults decide to give it all to Christ because of the work that they do!!

Members of Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters have been blessing the children, staff and volunteers of Orphanage Emmanuel in Guaimaca, Honduras, for many years. Team members come with hearts ready to serve Jesus in any way asked of them. They particularly enjoy ministering to our teenagers by leading Bible studies, organizing exciting activities and leading worship services. Several team members have even returned to Emmanuel to serve as longer term volunteers. We are thankful for Snowbird's participation in our ministry.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is absolutely amazing. My youngest son, Seth, attended a camp at SWO the summer of 2010. Seth has always been very quiet and reserved and was not at all interested in attending a camp where he did not know anyone. But in April 2010, his older brother, whom he was very close to, was killed in a tragic accident. Our family was devastated but attempted to trust God through our hurt and confusion. Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters invited Seth and his cousin to attend camp in May 2010. Seth was very apprehensive but attended with encouragement from our family. What he found when he arrived was an awesome team of caring people that loved the Lord and embraced Seth as if they had always known him. Seth's healing began the day he arrived at Snowbird and he came back a new teenager. He continues to grow in his faith and understanding and I can't begin to express the gratitude we have for Snowbird and their staff. They truly are dedicated and continue to practice what they preach.

I was a chaperone of my son's 8th grade class that went to Snowbird for several days. Wow. The hearts of the people there are tremendous. And they relate (deliberately) to the students in great fashion. I thought at first that maybe they wouldnt but they engaged with the students and made friendships and realtionships that revolved around Jesus in such unique ways.

Their skits and worship were over the top - really making you think and trust God. Watching 8th graders rasie their hands in worship brought tears to my eyes!

The fun parts were just as cool - rafting, jumping off a pole, swinging high in the air - I think I had more fun than some of the kids!

Great place!

Just wanted to take a minute to tell you about my experience with Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters. From the first phone call thru the final departure at SWO, the staff helped us. They made registering for camp a simple process. They helped us come up with funding ideas and then they worked with our youth daily to insure a great time at Snowbird. they made each of us feel special. I had the opportunity to spend time one on one with several staff members, just talking about our youth and what was happening with them.

I chaperoned a youth group trip to SWO in summer of 2010. The entire youth group had an amazing experience. The SWO staff is knowledgeable, engaged, and energetic. The events, programming, and facilities are among the best we've ever experienced. Snowbird's policy of one on one interaction and small group involvement engenders an intimate setting for youth to open up, share, and grow in their relationships with Christ. We had five youth give their lives to Christ that week and many others come to a closer relationship with Him. I have recommended SWO to many others, and will continue to encourage my church to continue to attend this camp every year.

I have gone to Snowbird since I was in middle school. I am now a sophomore in college and this ministry continues to have an effect on my life. The people there are very relational and make you feel right at home. Snowbird offers many fun activities for the campers and it is a huge drawing card for groups every year.

My husband and I attended their yearly couples marriage retreat in 2009/2010. Our 2 teenagers attended their youth summer camp in 2010. Of course we liked being able to check them out before our kids came up. Let us just say that Snowbird is so much more than a retreat or a camp, it is truly a real life changing experience. The staff have such an amazing radical love for Jesus. The scenery is beautiful in the mountains. The adventures are great. The best part of all..God is there. We have all been challenged as a family to grow spiritually..what a blessing! Also would like to add that some of the staff come on the road and recently spent the weekend here in our hometown making Discipleship Now at the local high school a success, yes they came all the way from North Carolina to our little small town of Perry Florida...600 miles just to spend the weekend with our kids. The guys and girls stayed in our homes and did bible study with our youth group. They did skits for our kids Friday nite, played with our kids Saturday with recreational games. They continued bible study with our kids for Sunday school. They lead praise and worship with their band ,Brody preached at our church Sunday, what an amazing service. They all touched our hearts in this community. I don't know of another group more that is more set apart and conformed to the image of Christ than the amazing staff at Snowbird. Or anyone more deserving, they are real servants of Christ.

Professional, Christ-centered, Servant hearted outdoor wilderness camp describes the ministry of SWO. Snowbird has provided a safe, loving, and fun environment for myself and my students in the past to enjoy the outdoors as well as learn about God's great outdoors. Over the years of attending SWO I have experienced students growing more interested in God's creation and much more so in the gospel. At a time in my life that I felt isolated and in need of companionship, the staff of SWO surrounded me with great love and support.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is a great Bible based, Bible taught youth camp. It is solid in the word of God. It has great activities to which appeals to youth, and while there enjoying them, they are exposed to God's Word on a continual basis during the day. It is a life changing week for anyone who visits. Can't wait to return each summer.

I was first introduced to SWO 11 years ago, when I myself was in high school. God used this non-profit to explain His radical love for me through the person of Jesus Christ. I met folks who authentically loved Him and me. Over the years, I developed close friendships with many of the long term staff who continue to be a source of encouragement. For example, I now work for another non-profit in response to what i learned about Jesus at SWO. The staff is still faithful to write me letters of encouragement with prayers and Scripture. I wonder how aimless in this life I would be had they not been faithful to share the joy that only comes from Christ with me.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters has played a huge role in my life. I attended camp at SWO for 5 years starting in eigth grade. Those 5 weeks I spent at camp help transform me into the person I am today. There are two main things that I love about SWO, the activities and the people. There are so many oppertunities to do awesome activities while at camp. I always chose canoeing, puddle jumping, and white water wrafting. But there are many more activities to choose from such as tubing, wakeboarding, mountain biking, reppelling, and many more. And the second thing that I love about camp is the people. SWO is filled with full-time and summer staff who are crazy about the Lord and are so excited to lead teenagers closer to Him. It was because of these people that I grew so much closer to the Lord each summer I went to Snowbird. And whenever the week of camp would come to an end, I wished I could just stay and never leave.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is a fantastic Christian organization that host camps year round for youth. They are unashamedly Christian and are bold in their faith. They have a deep passion and love for students. During a typical week of camp the staffers pour their lives into the students. They provide 3 great meals a day, adventure recreation including white water rafting, 2 worship services a day, breakout sessions. My students absolutely feel in love with SWO five years ago. This summer will make summer number 6 that we have been to camp there. I would recommend this camp to anyone who is looking for a solid Christian camp. I LOVE this place.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters excels at purposeful investment in the lives of young people. both their campers and their counselors. They create an environment of community and mutual respect. The property itself is beautiful and well-maintained, but the primary focus one feels when on campus is the commitment to their purpose of loving, training, and developing youth.

Never in my life have I been involved with a ministry that challenged me to grow spiritually the way Snowbird did. Bunking the typical view of sedate Christianity the camp confronts you with the fact that being a believer is an adventurous, difficult, vivid life. The staff bears a compassion for the campers that is unrivaled, and the result is genuine, one-on-one relationships in which campers find themselves experiencing the radical love of Christ.
I attended the camp as a camper, a chapperone, and as a part of the staff. Everyone I've known who has been a part of this ministry has been impacted by Christ's work there.

Nestled in the Nantahala valley of NC, SWO is a camp designed to disciple youth into a deeper relation ship with Christ. The permanent staff have a deep and well-articulated faith that they share with carefully-selected summer staff of 150-200 college and upper high school students. The training at this level is intense. These students, in turn, while growing in their faith, talk, walk, play, pray, cry, and nurture 300-400 middle and high school campers each week for nine weeks. It is a life-changing experience for staff and campers each summer. (And a lot of fun!)

Like so many have said, Snowbird is such a life-changing experience. I remember the first time I went in '08... I had recently started going to a new church the fall before and still didn't know anyone in the youth when signups were. Of course my mom signed me up, but at the time, I did NOT want to go. However, from then to the day we left, I had grown closer to everyone, but I was still unsure about SWO. But as all my friends had told me, SWO was well beyond what I had expected. The staff made me (as well as everyone who came) feel so welcome and that they actually cared about ME. The worship services were so wonderful, and the many skits the staff put on to get complex ideas easier to understand. Brody and Big Kahuna spoke so deeply about God's love and how one can love God in return. That one week taught me so much about myself and others and God. And since '08, I have gone back to SWO two other times and am preparing for one last visit as a camper this upcoming summer.

Snowbird is a community of believers that help facilitate a place where you can grow in your faith, be challenged to be more than you are toaday, or take your first step on your journey of faith.

Anne Tully is a really good friend of mine! The way she talks about SnoBird and how the Lord has impacted her life in drastic ways through her experience, is so encouraging to me!

Snowbird is not just a camp, not just a retreat destination, not just a fun outdoors getaway. Snowbird is a life-changing place. In high school i attended my Junior and Senior years, and both years left a stronger person with more knowledge and courage to combat the world so desperately seeking to bring me down. Every single person working, volunteering, or serving there was uplifting and dedicated to the Lord, you could feel the love for each of Gods children in the words and there actions. We were offered many one in a lifetime activities and In-your-face truths straight out of Gods word. I rememeber to this day the dramas that depicted Jesus resurection, the raw truth of what Jesus did for me, and others that moved me to tears, no matter how hard i tried to hold back. The spirit of the Lord FILLED the place and overflowed into every receptive heart there. I left with a feeling of knowing that Jesus was a very fesible person, i left with a closeness with my God that was awakened in Praise, Worship, and preaching. I also left with a friendship that sticks like glue to this day. A friend that stood beside me on my wedding day 6 years after i left camp. I returned to Snowbird in Nov of 2010 to go to the Marriage Retreat, i was very apprehensive. A little after a year of being married, my marriage was facing the end, we felt it was over, we were facing divorce. A devastating feeling, this was our last ditch effort to salvage a failing marriage. The teachings, the people, the lessons on love, money, stepping up, being the Wife God created me to be, hit my heart so hard, i knew a drastic change was the only way we could save our marriage. i just didn't think it could be done. We were both heartbroken and confused. We really thought Divorce was the only was we could ever be happy. Brody and LIttle took time and sat down with us, as well as probably 50 other couples individually. We talked and prayed, and they just told us Point blank what had to be done. Brody told my husband was had to be done, and Little assured me that the romantic feeling would return in time, if i was faithful in trusting is God and doing as he told me to do.
Snowbird changed my life, honestly, no clique intented, not just once, but twice. Snowbird gave me the tools and encouragement to save myself, and to save my marriage.

I had the incredible opportunity to attend camp at Snowbird and it was a lifechanging experience. The people are so real and so encouraging, so ready to do anything they can to minister to you and help you in whatever way God wants them to. It was a really fun weekend with so much to do and be involved in, i not only enjoyed myself but also learned a lot. I was definitely impacted by the godly and Christlike attitudes of the people who make Snowbird possible.

Hi! My oldest son has gone to camp at Snowbird several years. He honestly looks forward and talks about it all year long. It not only provides him with a opportunity to try things he might never get a chance to do elsewhere, but all of the staff make a special effort to get to know each individual during their stay. They challenge him to be his best at each physical challenge as well as be the best young man that he can. They have taught him to be a true man of God, not only in word but also in deed. To live his christain life out loud and show God's love to others in all circumstances.

After returning home, he still hears from the staff on his birthday and they occasionally visit our church. This is his senior year in high school and we thought he might not be interested anymore but he has already asked about going especially since this will be his last year.

This year not only will my oldest son be attending Snowbird, but this will be his younger brothers first year and their father will be attending for the first time for our church's men's retreat. It is truly a wonderful camp and their heart's are in God's work. I truly hope that they win!

Snowbird is a wonderful camp that has touch the lives of many people. They have a beautiful setting in the mountains of North Carolina and do beautiful work serving the Lord.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is a place like no other. When your there you feel as is all that matters is what is going on between you and God. Everything back home, is back home, not with you. A week at Snowbird in the summer, is a week of continuous growth in your relationship with the Lord. NO where else can you find that kind of comunity feeling that you get while your at Snowbird. I love Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters! Without SWO I'm not sure where I would be in my relationship, if I still had one, with God.

This organization is excellent. I was only able to spend a summer there but the staff has become like family. I frequently go to visit or meet them when they are traveling for speaking engagements. They were so gracious to my family and I when my father suddenly passed away last year. Not only did they severals hours to attend the funeral but they also did the music for the service.

Snowbird Outfitters is a mission field in our own homeland. The staff and counselors have a love and passion to share and teach the word of GOD to the youth, families, and couples on special weekends. The youth have such a heart felt passion when they come back home to serve GOD, that it is an encouragement and a joy to see. I would encourage this christian organization to those who wish to further there growth with GOD.

This place is AMAZING!! This is where I truely found out how God works in miraculous ways! Because of the entire week at SWO and several councilors who helped me with some difficulties I came closer to God and this lead to me being saved several months later. My youth leaders are taking us back this summer. We can't wait! SWO IS AWESOME!

This was an experience I was first hesitant about. It was a different environment that I wasn't used to, but when I finally decided to go I never thought that I would enjoy it as much as I did. Snowbird is an exciting adventure from start to finish. Between the fun activities like rafting, playing on their gym-like equipment, and the hilarious skits, there is never a dull moment. The critical thing that people need to know about SWO is that it's not just about the fun activities you get to do there, but the people and events that help strengthen your relationship with God, or if your not already a believer, can help you become one. The sermons every morning, the breakout sessions, and the evening talks with the counselors all give the campers a chance to grow in their faith whether a young believer or someone who has been faithful for a long time. The staff makes you feel very comfortable, making you feel that you can share anything with them and knowing that they are there to answer an questions you may have is a great feeling. I went into camp thinking I was a pretty strong believer, and would end up helping others more, but it turned out I learned more things to help me. It helped bring about issues I needed to deal with and the staff was right there to help alleviate the emotional stress, and clear my doubts. After going to the camp, I think that had I not went I would've missed out on a great opportunity to enjoy fellowship with my friends and have fun in the summer, but also learn so much about the wonderful God we serve. It was an awesome adventure, and I can't wait to do it again!

snowbird was a wonderful challenge and time of preparation for my last two employees from this camp. they hold strong biblical values and prepare young people to take discipleship seriously.

The time I spent at Snowbird changed my life. God showed me his love and power through the counselors and staff at Snowbird. I have been numerous times to the camp as a camper and i hope to return soon as a leader or counselor so others can see what God has done in my life so maybe it can change their lives.

I love Snowbird, and will definatley be returning. It changed my life.

I started going to SWO with my church youth group when I was in the 4th grade. I have never met so many people on fire for the Lord. I absolutely loved that camp, and it made a difference in my life. I will be working as a camp counselor there this summer (:

This was such an amazing experience for me. I came in 2006 as a Summer Staff member and felt the call to return to the Year-round Staff. I moved to SWO for a year and helped in the Media department doing graphics and video work. The Full time staff was so encouraging in helping me on my way to becoming the man I am today. Even though I have left SWO, the relationships I built there are still very important elements in my life.

I have went to SWO for two years it was absolutely amazing. You can have fun by learning God's word at the same time. You can experience opportunites to do stuff that you may never get to do otherwise. It is a great place to be. I would reccomend it to anyone that has a youth member or when I have my kids someday I would want them to go here or somewhere like here. Its for all ages and for all different kinds of camps go on. Camp is awesome! SWO ROCKS!

Great! Saw many great things happen in the life of teens. Encouraged to live better lives, serve their community, and be challenged to learn what they believe in their faith. I highly recommend this place to build the lives of youth in a positive way!

This Camp is so amazing!! It showed me how much people really love God. I actually became a christian. The people here know how to conect with you on a one-to-one basis. You arent just another camper you become their friends. And the games that you do are SOO much fun. and then the skits are just unbelievable. just amazing overall!!

Snowbird is my most favorite place on earth!!! I have been to Snowbird many time over the past 7 or 8 years. Their purpose is to make a difference in the lifes of others. We have been able to be there as a youth pastor, adult camper, and friend. Through Snowbird camps, retreats, winter retreats, marriage retreats etc... I have been able to watch them pour their lives into to so many people with the purpose to Glorfy God.

Snowbird will take you to the max with some extreme outdoor adventure while keeping you surounded by the Love of God.

I have had a great time at Snowbird. It is one of the coolest places on Earth. You get to learn about God and have an awsome time.

I went to snowbird on a church mission trip. First of all it was a WONDERFUL experience. In fact I am going back this year with my church again. They have a 1 to 4 ratio of councelors to students which is amazing. The worship is also great! They have an awesome band, skit group, and speaker. Every year i see a huge number of students my age get saved. I have been saved, but it didn't happen there. Our youth pastor has been saved there. He was a councelor for a ouple of months. They have a number of recreations for students also. This is a great factor to snowbird. I have to say if you go your relationship with God will definitely grow a tremendous amount. If you ever have a chance to go I highly encourage it.
God Bless!

I have never felt so moved in my entire life. I really felt like I belonged more than I ever have in my entire life. The atmosphere and the people helped my walk with Christ so much. I have gone six years in a row and wouldn't take a year back.

Snowbird is such a great experience! In the few days i was there i became closer to God! All the different activities like the Three Man Swing and white water rafting was a test to my faith. I am terrifyd of heights and I didnt want to go up on the swing. This verse popped into my head: For I the Lord your God hold your right hand; I am the Lord, Who says to you, Fear not; I will help you! Isaiah 41: 13. It is silly to say that, but through Snowbird I was able to do something that the devil kept keeping me away from. The workers are all so nice, ifelt like i was part of a family sitting around the campfire our last night! I would recommend this to anyone! I cannot wait to be there this summer!

I honestly had an amazing time at snowbird! All of the staff is nice there and there food is pretty good! The band sung really good and Brody was an awesome preacher. They taught me alot about God that i haven't thought about before. I love going there every year and look forward to it. I've only been there twice but those two years are times to look back on. I hope I can continue to go there each and every year! It was an amazing experience!

My first experience with Snowbird was a youth lock in in North Carolina. I was exposed to Brody's preaching style and will never forget his message. It was focused on commitment. The analogies he used to describe true commitment with stick with me the rest of my life. I walked away being challenged to be more responsible with my commitments and in making the decision to commit to something, especially to the Christian faith. My second experience with Snowbird last a bit longer. I decided to sign-up to be a camper on an OLD School trip. On this trip I was taught basic outdoor living skills and principals that I still use today! Such as the meaning of trail blazes, and their distinctions, how to pack a pack, how to hike well with a heavy pack, how to read the flow of a river to find the current, how to guide a raft down the river, how to set up/break down tents, when to set up/break down a campsite, and the importance of the Leave No Trace rules. In addition to learning the basics of outdoor living I also learned how to study the bible during that trip and how significant God's word is to the believer - that it is necessary and very powerful. The leadership shown to me on that trip has impacted me to the core of who I am. I saw, through the lives of the Snowbird staff on that trip, that a relationship with God is something real, something that happens daily, and is something to be valued and passionate about. I saw that it was necessary. I think often about the talk we had about studying God's word and what our leader, Bobby, said - that God's word is life changing.

Also, on that trip, I grew to LOVE the outdoors and mountain biking. I had only been camping once during my life before this trip. After this trip I would find friends at school who enjoyed the outdoors as much or more and we would get hiking trips together or trips to local waterfalls/swimming holes. I use my opportunities in the woods with others to talk about God and how He has made himself known through his creation.

This trip had an eternal impact on me and I'm confident that God used that trip to help change the focus of my life for the rest of my life!

My son went to Snowbird solely for the fun of hanging out with his friends, and came back from there totally on-fire for God. He didn't expect to experience the spiritual growth that he did. His Snowbird experience has not only drawn him closer to God, but has allowed him to reach out and encourage others to do the same. He can hardly wait to go back again this year (we're signing him up tomorow!), and he has asked several friends to go, as well. He shows all of his friends his video of Snowbird and tells them they should start planning right away to join him there.

I loved Snowbird so much! It was fabulous! The counselors there are so kind, helpful, and fun. Brody was an amazing preacher. Every sermon he gave was so interesting and it related to youth so well. I would love to go back anytime. I've been three years and everytime it was just as good if not better than the previous year!

snowbird has by far been the best camp i have ever been too. the first time i went i was in 6th grade and i had tons of fun. i have been 4 times now and each time i have gotten closer to god. this camp is amazing and i dont see how anyoe wouldnt like it. it opens your eyes about in many different ways. the staff is incrediable. i loved my leaders and still 5 years later, keep up with them. i am too old to go to this campp anymore so its sad to me but other people will see how this willl change there life. my favorite part about this camp was the prayer chapel. it really opens your eyes of how good we have it here. and we dont always think about how when we go to church its no big deal but in other countires poeple get killed for even owning a bible. so overall snow bird get two thumbs up for me.

snowbird was an amazing way for me to get closer to god. i became a true christian i believe there and i'm thankful i went. there were a whole lot of fun activities and i loved the worship :)

Snowbird is the BEST camp I have ever been too. The Lord has done amazing things with those people and I have had a stronger relationship with God since I went there 2 summers ago. I know god will continue to bless SWO!!!!!

Snowbird Outfitters is an awesome youth camp that provides love, fun and the opportunity to know our Lord and Savior. The camp has young adult counselors who can relate with teenagers and help them with their spiritual walk with Christ. The camp also provides good food, fun and activites that teens enjoy and gives them the opportunity to meet other teens their age and become good friends. I can't think of constructive feedback in regards to improvement. Snowbird Outfitters is an awesome camp, is great for the communit and for the youth of today. I have nothibg but praises to the Lord for providing Snowbird to our youth.

I would like to recognize Snow Bird Wilderness Outfitters for its hospitality. I was familiar with the location and overall camp when I asked permission to have my wedding there. I had been to the camp since I was in high school. The staff members were absolutely the nicest most caring individuals. They were at the camp to help lead others to Christ in any way they could. I was not a member of Snow Bird WIlderness Outfitters so I was not sure if I would be able to have my wedding there but when I asked they wrote up a contract and gave me permission! I was so excited and the location was perfect. The staff members were very helpful from the beginning planning of my wedding to the very end. Several times before the wedding I would stop by just to look things over and get ideas for decoration and stuff and there was always somebody there to help me and show me around. This meant a lot to me since I would just stop by not knowing if they were busy or not. The day before our wedding while I was working on decorations some of the staff members planted fresh flowers and cleaned up around the grounds to help us out. I was so shocked because that was one less thing on our list to do. Out in the community when you run into staff members they are very polite and nice to everybody. They never meet strangers and they are working for our Lord.

We (my hustband, a youth pastor and I) first heard about Snowbird through a fellow church member who was out for a walk and literally, stumbled upon it! We are so thankful that she did. The following summer we took a group of students. We have been ministered to by Snowbird for almost seven years now. I've made so many friends and really could consider the full-time staff family. I love and appreciate their ministry. Their LOVE for God is so evident. It's shared. It's felt! They truly love people because they LOVE GOD! I have been to numerous "camps" as a teen and as a youth pastor's wife. I can say hands-down... There's NO comparison. So many times camp worship is high energy and more of a concert; and the staff is generally untouchable, like celebrities. That's not the case at "SWO" at all! Students are ministered to during recreational activities, being served at meal time, or through playing a game of cards. I have had the staff in my home a few times to stay over night while they are on "World Tour" and I can say they are just the same in my home as at camp! ("World Tour" is when SWO staff goes to some of the churches they have ministered to during the summer. This is just one way this non-profit organization gives back.) That's what they do! They give back! Their staff members, "CEO" included aren't driving around in big fancy cars... some of them drive old beat up trucks like the one they "Big Nasty!" It is my prayer that you will feel the need that this camp has to receive your generous donation! I know they will use it according to God's wisdom! I pray God's blessings on your agency as you give back! :) God bless!

My son, Shawn Clark works at this camp, he is in charge of mission work for the community! All the staff wants more than anything else for everyone to know Our Lord as personal Saviour! Shawn has grown in his walk with Our Saviour so very much since working at Snowbird! They all love each person that comes to Snowbird, have fun with them and even stay in contact with them after they leave camp! My church, Theresa Baptist in Roxboro go to this camp with our youth! Some of the men in our church are going on a man's retreat to Snowbird in March of this year.

Snowbird is an amazing camp! I was there for several summer camps and a winter retreat. Each time I enjoyed building relationships with other campers and leaders. The music and messages were awesome along with all the activities. I highly recommend this camp to anyone who enjoys adventure and/or connecting with real people!!

I attended Snowbird camp twice as a youth leader with a group of young people from my church. I could not have been more impressed with a ministry trying to reach youth for the Lord. Every employee at the camp from adminstration to counselors had a great love for the God. They set an example for living a Godly life that was both believable and enviable. They told about being a Christian in daily meetings in the chapel, in small groups, by staying up and talking one on one late into the night, and during outdoor activities. The people running this camp have something going that in have never seen or felt before. There is a dress code that encourages modesty. The boys are taught to respect women by letting the women go first in the meal line. Just sitting here typing this is bringing emotional tears to my eyes as I remember all the experiences I had, and the program was not even targeted at me because I was an adult. Anyone wishing to donate to a ministry who is reaching young people for Christ should consider Snowbird a worthy cause.

Where to begin... The year-2000-and I had personally seen Snowbird grow from 25 to 100 people visiting per week from just the two years previous. Then they got a hold of me and personally began helping me shape who I was and would become in Christ.

Snowbird has impacted my life in a great way. I have been going to Snowbird for 10 years now and was on staff for three summers. Their solid biblical teaching and relational ministry emphasis has really affected my walk with Christ.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is unlike any camp I have had the pleasure of being a part of. I had never been in a camp atmosphere that combined the idea of extreme fun (ropes courses, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, and much more) with an unapologetic and straightforward message of what is means to be a Believer. Snowbird does not ‘water down’ the Gospel message or the Christian walk and while staff and campers are ‘loved on’ they are held to a standard that is way more than simply legalism…they our held accountable for what it means to be in a relationship with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

I am only 23 but I can honestly say that up to this point working at SWO was the most physically, emotionally and spiritually exhausting thing I have ever done in my life…and was by far the MOST rewarding. The opportunity to work with, to pour into students and to see God using their time at camp to change their lives, and help them grow in their Spiritual walks was amazing.

What was also amazing (and unlike I had experienced before in a camp setting) was the community of the staffers as a whole. With a summer staff of a little over 100 it was incredible how close we became in such a short time and how close many of us still are (SWO family keeps growing!). I made close friends in my time at SWO who I know I will be friends with for the rest of my life.

It was new for me how much the full time staffers invested and poured into us. They recognized that though we were there for the summer we wouldn’t be there forever and wanted to encourage and teach us in our personal lives, for the summer yes, but for the future as well and wherever God was calling us.

My time at SWO impacted my life in so many ways: It gave me lifelong friendships, gave me the opportunity to serve God in a context in which few have the opportunity, confirmed the direction God is calling on my life, and in all of the above strengthened my relationship with God.

I was a camp counselor at Snowbird for 6 years and have continued to help out from time to time since then. Being a part of Snowbird has been used by God to grow me in the way I see Him, and the body of Christ. Snowbird has definitely had a huge impact on the friend, daughter, teacher, and wife I am today. I even met my husband at Snowbird! I feel very blessed to be a part of the "Snowbird Family"

Snowbird is such a great camp! I love the way all the workers enteract with the visitors, they make you feel as if you are the only one there and you're salvation is the only thing that ever mattered. The skits are marvelous, touching and makes you think. The praise and worship team always makes my heart and soul sing. The part I would have to say is my favorite is hearing the words of my Lord God being spoken by such God fearing people.

I have many friends who work at Snowbird and I have worked with their OLD School program. I can honestly say that these are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met in my life. They care, deeply about the spiritual health of everyone they meet and they want everyone to experience Jesus is a real and powerful way.

My life has been positively affected by their ministry, as well as the lives of my family and church members. I cannot recommend them enough!

I was apart of Snowbird's staff in the summer of 2004 and it impacted my life in so many ways. Since Snowbird is a Christian camp it impacted me in my walk with Jesus. Through working there I was encouraged by the Full Time staff and other staff everyday and it gave me strength to grow. I also learned how to step out of my comfort zone and open up with my personality. They helped me get away from being so shy and be more open. I have nothing but great things to say about Snowbird and I am proud to have served with them for a summer.

Snowbird Wilderness is truly second to none. They provide some of the best recreation in the country! But don't let the adventure fool you, the most important thing they offer is found in their leadership staff. All of the teaching is biblically sound and Christ-centered. Then on top of that they have a great leader to student ratio. Every student who attends is meaningfully invested in by one or more college aged students who dedicate their summer to serving youth. I think the highest compliment I can give Snowbird is that students who come back aren't just on a camp high... they are truly transformed by the gospel. What students experience in a week of camp has an eternal benefit on their lives!

I served as a chaperone when the youth of our church attended Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters. They provided an experience of the highest caliber in all areas. The entire staff pours itself into all that attend the camp, and they all work hard to make it an amazing experience for all who attend. It is clear that the leadership from the top has empowered all the staff to be accountable to all who attend Snowbird, and have done so in a way that both challenges and inspires both the campers and the staff.

Snowbird has played an instrumental role in my Christian development. I attended Snowbird as a high school student with my youth group to do some spring clean-up work in preperation for their summer season. It was through that week that God challenged me and confirmed my call into ministry. During college I spent my summers at Snowbird working as a camp counselor. I learned so much about ministry through those 3 summers from Brody (the camp director) and the rest of the staff. The experience I gained there has been vital to my ministry with college students working with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

I worked as a summer counselor for two summers at Snowbird. Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters has had a larger impact on my life than any other ministry or organization I have been a part of. Through this ministry I have learned about and experienced true biblical community. Snowbird's dedication to the gospel and commitment to biblical teaching have been instrumental in my own personal growth and walk with Christ.

Snowbird changed my life. I would not be here today if it wasn't for that amazing camp. The staff are very reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. The services are like nothing I have ever seen anywhere else. The rec is creative and some of the funniest times I have had. I had watched countless people go to SWO and come back changed. No matter how many times I have gone this camp always rocks my world and brings me to a whole new level in my relationship with God. God is in this camp, there is no other way to explain it.

Snowbird was a great experience. I went for the first time as a chaperone last summer with the youth group at my church. It was amazing to see the relationships formed and the things that the youth and I learned. It was an experience that I will never forget and that I will always share with the youth. The lessons that were taught were so applicable to the youth and adults. This ministry truly is a blessing.

SWO is an awesome place for students. They are concerned with kids being told they are important to Christ no matter what. They teach kids how to live a victorious life and how to minister to others. We love SWO and the staff. I can't think of a more deserving group.

The first year i went to Snowbird i was on a path where i lived for myself and thought i had to have a boyfriend. I was in the rountine of reading my bible just to read it and didnt really get anything from it because i didnt open my heart to what God was trying to say. I left Snowbird realizing that my life didnt please God and that i had some major changes to make. However, i also left there knowing that God was with me every step of the way and that he loved me more than anything else. Snowbrd taught me that being a Christian isnt about the religious part it is about having a deep relationship with my creator and the lover of my soul. Since that Summer God has used Snowbird as a place to remind me of my promises, to encourage me, and refresh my soul. The people at Snowbird remind me that it is possible to live a life devoted to God. Even though it is a struggle i have now given my love life to God because i trust only God can write the fairy tell love story i long for and that Christ is my number one Prince Charming and i dont have to wait for him! Jesus is with me always and forever, in every season of my life! I can't explain how much Snowbird and all the people there means to me. God has used that wonderful place and all those wonderful people to put me on the right path to a more fufilling life living the life God designed just for me! There missions program is awsome as well, they go out into the community to share God's love through their actions by providing for those in need in whatever way they can!

SnowBird Outfitters INC is the best camp I have even taken students too... They love my students and we have left every time feeling like family!

Snowbird is an amazing camp. When I was in my twenties, a group of friends and I went there for a Winter camp. This organization really reaches out to young people. They are such a witness for Christ. They take the time to get to know young people, and reach out to them through fun activities and sports. I remember when I was there we went horseback riding, rode on a zip-line and went on a hike on a wooded trail. We also had very meaningful praise and worship time, and also times of individual prayer. We could find a spot out in Nature to sit by ourselves and get close to God. This is also a wonderful place to establish friendships. There are lots of activities to do with friends, such as the trust obstacle course. This camp is a really wonderful place for young people.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters has been a place for me to experience true community among other believers and be challenged and encouraged with my relationship with the Lord. I was able to reach out to the youth that came to camp and the people of the community in Andrews, NC.

I was a camper at Snowbird in Summer 2001, 2003, and 2004. Here I learned what it truly meant to be a follower of Jesus Christ. The teachings, worship, and community all helped me better understand the character of Christ and the love He lavishes on His creation.

As a camper, I remember the staff were genuine and authentic in their relationships. There were no noticeable factions or dissensions amongst themselves. This community is what in large part lead me to work here throughout my 4 summers in college. While I was on summer staff, I learned that it was truly mercy, not sacrifice, that compelled Snowbird to serve the hearts of middle school and high school kids.

Snowbird uses it's outdoor activities as a platform to minister the Gospel to a range of adolescents in the South East United States. One of my most rewarding experiences working at camp was being able to work with the boys from Eagle Ranch, a group home in Atlanta, GA. These students come from broken families and other hardships. Most of the boys did not want to hang out or talk, and they were very put off by me. Until mid way through the week, the staff working with Eagle Ranch played paint ball against the boys. This time of fun and fellowship really opened the doors for communication and quality time. I began to see the walls come down and I was able to have meaningful conversations with boys whom I thought never would speak with me. From their personal stories, it was evident a lot of healing and reconciliation needed to happen in their relationships, particularly their families. During the rest of the week, I was able to build trust and empathy among a few of the boys and have some meaningful conversations about their past and their hopeful futures.

Having the opportunity to work with Eagle Ranch at Snowbird really put a passion in my heart to work with students and helping them navigate through adolescence. Having the opportunity to attend Snowbird as a camper helped me understand my faith and expressibility as a teenager, and I am thankful to be able to give back what was given to me.

I have been to camp there as a camper for three years, for two winter treats, and was in their OLD School program. SWO is all around AWESOME. OLD School really shaped me in so many ways. i am forever grateful. The whole staff put everything they have into their vision of what there purpose at SWO should be. Two thumbs up!!

This camp is by far the most Christ-centered and Spirit-led camp I have ever been a part of. Growing up in church youth group, I have been to more camps than I can count. And now having worked at SWO, I can confidently say that SWO embraces not only the relational aspect that youth today need and the extreme recreation that pulls each individual out of their comfort zone, but also incorporates sound teaching and doctrine which is the foundation of what Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is all about and that is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Snowbird is a place for spiritual retreat and growth. The staff there is totally sold out for Christ! Anyone there is always willing to step up when there is a need, and they always make the Lord's purpose and plans number one priority. The experience there is uncomparable and totally Spirit filled. I would recommed SWO to everyone!

This is the most amazing place in the world. God is truly in this ministry.

SWO is an amazing place with amazing people (from what I've heard!). There is a neat group of people who work hard to impact the lives of youth. Everyone should go there (Including me!).

I was first invited by my youth pastor at one time to come to this Christian camp. At first i thought it would be like many others. When i arrived at this camp i met some crazy people but although they were crazy there was not one there that did not have the vision of reaching each and ever camper with the word of God. It was as if the moment i steped on the camp I felt the love of God all around me. I had individual attention from my group leaders that were assigned to us if i ever needed it. They were always around to be a witness to us through christ. I never felt uncomfortable or out of place one moment. It was a place i felt safe and feard the thought of leaving. God is mighty powerful there.

a great christian camp, that ministers to all students at all levels. the councselors all are trained for weeks before they can be ready to minister to the students , the speakers and leaders are all God filled and love God and their students. plus the camp runs year long. i can talk to the counselors any time i need to and value their help and opinions.

I used to work with a youth group in Florida and we took the kids to SWO several times. We liked it so much, we also schedule time for our 20 Somthings to go for a retreat. I love SWO because of the ones who run it and those who work there, their love for adventure and their passion for Jesus. SWO offers a great variety of outdoorsy extreme activities and has a great focus and challenge to all those who come onto the campus to examine their spirits, as well. The staff is not shaken when troubled kids show up, but go above and beyond to welcome and involved them. The surroundings are beautiful. The staff is fun. The call to higher spiritual standard and relationship with Jesus is amazing. Humor runs rampant. Kids love it. Adults get challenged. Great job, Big'n, Brody, and then rest of you...

Our family loves SWO! What a wonderful place for people of all ages. Our church has been active for several years and we can't wait to see what Snowbird has in store for the future.

I attended Snowbird as a chaperone for two trips with our church youth group. The staff at Snowbird is well organized and very very friendly. They were very attentive to our group and spent many hours just spending time with the youth and talking to them! That is invaluable because so many times youth put up walls but the way that the staff approached the kids and really spent a lot of time with them they were able to break down those walls and speak truth into their lives!
As a chaperone it was great to see others caring for our youth the way we do. It was great that the staff was very encouraging to us.
The worship sessions that were offered were very well planned and thought out. They were encouraging and very biblically based. The breakout sessions that were offered were a great extension of what was being talked about in the worship sessions. As a chaperone/leader those breakout sessions were great for not only the lives of the youth, but also for the adults in the room. I took away from all the teachings way to improve my walk with the Lord and how to practically live out what I read in the Bible.
I am thankful for the times that I have gotten to spend at Snowbird and with the staff! They are an extension of the body of Christ, being the hands and feet of Christ!

I have brought my students to snowbird as a youth leader with my church since the summer of 2002. It is hands down the best summer camp I have ever been to. The staff is so involved in investing in the students. The staff to camper ratio allows for your students to be poured into like nowhere else. The recreation that snowbird offers you won't find anywhere else. The teaching is solid and really pushes students go deeper in their pursuit of Christ. This camp is the best camp on earth.

My experience at Snowbird was a very positive one. The time spent at snowbird was well organized. The staff at Snowbird work really great together. They are very professional and truly care about the campers. Even during free time the counselors hung out with the kids and spent time getting to know them. They did an excellent job of making sure none of the kids felt left out. We had a few kids in our group that are loners and the staff never let them be left out of activities. But it was done in a way that they didn't feel singled out or forced to join in. The messages were very relevant to the teens. They really related and responded to the messages. They managed to challenge the teens to do more in their faith without belittling them or talking over their heads.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is a fantastic organization that not only reaches out to people who come to take part, but people in the surrounding community, neighboring states and internationally. I worked at SWO for 5 years and in that time we helped over 65 families rebuild roofs, homes and restore healthy living conditions to families in need. They traveled to West Virginia to help build houses and every year have taken a trip to an Orphanage in Honduras to spend time with children and show them that there are loved and cared for. I was sponsored through SWO to move to Honduras and live amongst the people for a semester helping with any needs that might arise. I became a drum teacher and worked on the farm raising chicken and pigs so that the children would have their own source of food. It is because of SWO that this happened and changed not only my life but those who were touched through the work that was done. This could not have been done without the help of Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters.

I have been to Snowbird two times as a leader. The staff is very down to earth and Gospel focused. I appreciate that they want the students to have a blast but are deeply burdened for the students to fully understand what Christ did and the calling that places on our lives. It is an incredible ministry. Not only do I have an incredible time, I walk away refreshed and challenged...even as a leader!

I have been to SWO twice as a chaperone for our youth group. Each time not only have I recieved a blessing but I have witnessed the children grow in there relationship with Christ. This place is a great place for children to grow. I LOVE IT!

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is by far the best summer camp I have ever been a part of. As a camper I was overwhelmed with the many recreactions the camp has to offer, from giant swings, to paintball, from a multi-course climbing tower, to class III white water rafting. This camp blew me away the expectional outdoor expirence they have created. As a couselor I was had the priveledge to serve along side some of the most wonderful people I hav eevery met in my life. The staff at snowbird, I am convinced, is the reason why it has been so effective in it's ministry to the youth and the public in the Andrews, NC. They have devoted their lives to the service of others and it was an honor to be apart of such a geniune organization like Snowbird. I don't know who the other canidates are but I know that Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters Inc is deserving to be the winner of this contest.

SWO is an amazing camp. They offer youth an experience that many youth would never have if it weren't for SWO. I am the senior pastor's wife from Church Alive in St. Cloud Fl. We have enjoyed this ministry so much. Not only are the activities amazing but the message they have is incredible. Our youth are encouraged in their walk with the Lord, their family life, school, self worth and service to the community. The diverse programs they offer meet the needs of any church or organization looking for encouragement for young adults. They have such a positive influence in the community they are in and on anyone blessed enough to be able to spend time there. After our youth graduate, many return to serve as staff because of the impact on their lives.

Snowbird Wilderness Camp was one of the greatest experience i've had in my entire life. They focused on strengthening my relationship with God while having an unforgetable, fun time. The three most exciting activites that I participated in was the three man swing, repelling off a 180' ft cliff, and white water rafting. Those were amazing experiences that you don't get to participate in on a daily basis and it put my strength and courage to the test. Also, they provided us with the services a day that were entertaining, empacting, and absolutely amazing. I enjoyed this camp so much that I'd love to be a leader there some day. I will never forget this wonderfull experience. It just didn't effect me for a week, it will effect me for a lifetime.

My sister went to this camp as a camp counselor shortly after she was saved. It was upon her return home that I started noticing a change in her life, which I attributed to the camp's influence.

Some of her doctrine was improved and more importantly lived out for the first time in her life.

Also, she told of great influences the camp had on the attendees. If they were as affected as she was (like she said they were) then they left the camp in a better spot than when they entered.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters changed my son's life. He came home from camp a changed young man in more ways than one. He was on a spiritual high for months. There commitment to the youth of today is beyond anything a mother can comprehend. I believe with all my heart that "The Big Kahuna & Brodie" LOVE today's kids with a passion that is very rare. The relationships they build with these kids stay for a long time after they leave the campground.

Snowbird is more than just a place to me, it serves as a place in which I became the person I am today. As a camper, the staff poured into my life, teaching me what it meant to be a disciple of Christ. They even became my friend and pursued me in friendship outside of the camp experiences. As a staff member, I met some of my best friends in the world.

Snowbird is the most amazing camp I have ever been to. It has so many people who come each summer to help people like me give my life to the Lord. The first time i went there i gave me life to the lord. It has changed my life forever. I will never forget that summer or snowbird.

I have visited Snowbird as a student and later as an adult work. Each time I return I learn more and see the effect the camp has on the students. Speaking from personal experice the camp is a wonderful place for learning about Christ and getting to experience the outdoors. When I went away to college at App State, my first semester I was very depressed. I email Brodie-one of the co-founders and express my feelings. Brodie personally called me to talk and help me through this diffucult time in my life. As he knews several college student there and got me in touch with them and it change my college life. Not many leaders of a camp would take the time to call a girl they had never really meet and hadn't see in a while. Snowbird staff is great and really caring. The summer after my younger brother died, I went as an adult leader and the support and help me and my younger got was amazing and helped us both though a diffucult time in our life.

Snowbird is amazing! When I went the other summer, I experienced spiritual highs that I could never get ffrom other camps' worship services. The extreme sports like repeling taught me how to live on the edge and conquer my fears by relying on God.

i have been going to Snowbird since i was in 7th grade, i am now 20 years old, an Old School alumni and a summer staff member. the community and environment there is perfect for reaching out to people and teens that come from all over. they have no limits when it comes to serving and meeting others needs.

Snowbird is hands down the best youth camp that I have ever been to. I am 23 years old and a preacher's kid and my mother was always the youth director at whatever church we were at while I was growing up. Needless to say, I've been to over my fair share of camps and not one even comes close to comparing to Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters.
My husband is a youth minister and we are very involved in our students spiritual and everyday lives. We heard of Snowbird from a former counselor and her husband and knew that we had to take our youth there. We had preconceived notions that this would be like any other camp with some worship, speaking and "entertainment" but it by far exceeded our expectations. They pack so much in to one week of camp that you feel like you've been there a month but that you only just got there at the same time. There is no way you can do all the activities they have available in one week and that keeps you wanting more for the next summer.
But not only are the activities and "entertainment" a huge "selling factor" but the worship and ministry is unlike anything I've ever experienced. When you get there they lay out the schedule for you and you're kind of taken aback by how much "worship" and "session" time there is but when you get into those times, you don't want to leave and when you have to, you can't wait to come back to the next worship or session time.
Snowbird's staff is what makes the camp what it is. With hiring so many college students and young people, they can heavily relate to what the students/campers are going through and can show them how to work through the tough times or problems that they may be experiencing. The counselors not only encourage the students but also encourage us as leaders to talk to our students and really get to know what is going on in their personal lives on a daily basis.
After we got back from camp, 2 or our students gave their lives to Christ and a weekly Bible study was started.
I would recommend this camp to ANYONE that even knows a teenager. One week at Snowbird can change a kid's life.
Snowbird not only knows how to make the best out of a good time but they do it in a manner that exemplifies Christ.

I camped at Snowbird Outfitters for two years with my churches youth group. now I am in college, and it was Snowbird that helped sculpt me into the man i am today. The talk on spiritual warfare given one evening made me realize in public universities, Christian students are under attack from the devil. Snowbird is a great camp and i highly recommend anyone go there.

Snowbird is an amazing organiztation that shows the love of God through and through! It has taugth me to be a better person and a better christain.The way everything is so outstanding is so amazing. I love the way you can talk to anyone and get Godly true advice. Also how the recreational choices are so fun. I could go repelling,sheetball shooting,white water rafting, kiacking,water sking/boarding, horse back riding, hiking, basketball,skateboarding,paintball(which was my favorite) and so much more!! I can have an amazing worship experience, good food, and be able to do severice missions for the local community to!! I love all the oppurtuneitys and how amazing it is!

Snowbird has had an amazing impact on my life. An unforgettable one! It has changed the way I live my everyday life because the staff and community there helped me understand better what it means to be a follower of Christ. Through intense discipleship I started to fall in love with God with intense passion. I have met my husband there. We still visit to this day to keep up with people and friends who are still there. I truly enjoyed getting to enjoy spending time out in creation by rafting, hiking, canoeing, tubing, rapelling, climbing and doing the on campus recs, horseback riding. It's phenomenal and it will always be apart of my life. I can't imagine what and where I'd be if I had not been there.

Snowbird Outfitters is one of the most wonderful places i have ever been too. This place has been the only place that i feel comfortable. The people there are great. From the day you meet them they are warm and become like a close friend. I went on a ski retreat there recently and not only did I have a lot of fun, I learned so much from them. Snowbird changed me into a better person!

SWO had been a part of my family for over 10 years. All three of our children have attended Snowbird over the past summers. The Townsends have been represented nearly every one of those years doing the base camp experience, Old School (backpacking) and the ultimate spiritual renewal each one experienced while there. Our 19 year old daughter who is in her first year at UVA, has served on servant team (volunteer summer staff) and most recently counselor. She has been accepted to serve again this coming summer as a returning counselor. I am most amazed at the maturity this camp nurtures in their staff as well as the impact I see in those teens that attend as campers. I am so thankful our church introduced my children and their friends to this camp.

I attended youth camp throughout high school at SWO and it benefited my life tremendously. I was able to receive positive teaching that increased my self-esteem and joy for life during the trying teenage years. Through their outdoor activities, warm friendships, and vibrant love for life I carried that on and shared it with others when I returned home.

SWO is the greatest place to be.. my first year was amazing i came closer to be with the LORD and i have to say they make your world so amazing.. everyone should go. Now my 2 year was even better i surrender my life to CHRIST! This year i'm going again and i cant wait!!! You really need to go!

I worked there last summer and LOVED IT! It was a great experience for me. I wanted to work with students and this camp gave me the opportunity so do this. The atmosphere there is energetic as well as gorgeous with Snowbird being located in the Mountains of North Carolina! This camp provides students to grow into a deeper relationship with Christ and i know personally that the full time staff a Snowbird has really help me grow into a deeper relationship with Christ. The full time staff really invest in there summer staff. They challenge them to step outside their comfort zones and to build relationships with students. These students that come through Snowbird are challenge to not go home the same. To make a difference in their schools, churches, homes, etc and these student do that! The full time staff has a HUGE passion for students and you can see that when you are at this camp.

I learned so much at Snowbird.I could just feel good talking to me and what he wants me to with my life.The staff is amazing!I enjoyed all the things to do there like paintball,3 man swing,and etc.

When I was fifteen I visited Snowbird as a camper. That summer through the ministry at Snowbird I surrendered my life to Christ.

Snowbird is amazing. The spiritual growth they provided me was unlike any other. Last year was my first year and I will definately be going back. The staff there really know what they're doing and how to help people. To put it simply, I love it there.

Spent a weekend at SWO on a men's retreat and had a very meaningful time up there. The staff were all very helpful. Many good and positive life lessons were taught on that weekend that have had a positive impact on me and the men in our men's accountablitity group.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is a great camp with an amazing staff. While at this camp i was challenged in my spiritual walk with the Lord while having fun in fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ at the same time. Snowbird staff truly care about the campers and their growth in the Lord. They are different from most organizations in that they take truly have the campers best interest at heart while serving the Lord whole heartedly. While at camp i got to know a few staff that i still speak with today. In conclusion, Snowbird and their staff are not like most camps or organizations, they take time to keep up with you and continue to challenge you in your growth.

I went to Snowbird as a camper for the first time in 8th grade. I then returned to the camp 4 more summers in a row. This camp has changed so many lives and is operated in such a great way. This camp led to my passion in Camp Ministry. I really feel words can't express the experience at Snowbird Outfitters. I would recommend this camp to people and churches all over the US.

going to this camp was the best exprience of my life and i overcame many of my fears and recieved very helpful advise for life.

I have attended SWO several summers with my church's youth program of 130 youth---I walk away amazed each year on several levels. the SWO staff is amazing as they get involved deeply with each student and get to know them on levels that others have not attempted.---they are true disciples of Christ---they work long hours and for little pay---they are truly servants of Christ. Lives are changed at this week at SWO..

This is a one of a kind organization. Working for Snowbird changed my life. No matter what you are doing here, you are surrounded by people who love Jesus and love you and who want to see you develop a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. The staff at Snowbird constantly shower visitors with love and are always looking for ways to serve. They love to have fun and play, but more importantly they love seeing people who are broken for the Word of God. They love seeing people changed by the Word, and people who are desiring the Lord. To watch college aged staff members turn away from a game of Ultimate Frisbee to go talk with a student about their heart is incredible, and this isn't uncommon. To see students who are terrified of heights facing their fears solely by the support and word of a staff member shows the level of trust that students have with this staff. The love shown at this camp is encouraging and contagious and really reflects the love that Christ has called us to show the world.

If you are looking for a camp that is packed full of adventure and fun and solid Biblical teaching SWO is the place to take your youth group. The staff are passionate about kids and love what they do. Every activity offered is well planned with great intention and purpose behind it.

its a great place. It really helped me and other people.

My personal experience at Snowbird has impacted me in so many ways. Snowbird has grown me spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally. I have made so many great friends and met so many great people on staff and as my counselors. Snowbird is the most fun camp I have ever experienced. I have been four years as a camper, and am applying to be a counselor this summer. I love everything about Snowbird and always will.

I was a camper at SWO in 2008 and it was one of the most memorable trips I have ever been on. The full time staff and summer counselors truely have a heart for the Lord and it shows in the way they press into the lives of the students that attend. Even though my last experience with SWO was over two years ago, I still rave about the experiences I had and the things I learned. My high school youth group continues to attend camp every summer and my heart beams for the students that get to go because I know there hearts will never be the same. SWO is truely an awesome place that will exceed anyones expectations. I have applied to be apart of SWO's summer staff for 2011 because of I want to be a part of how God is using SWO to impact, challenge, teach, and encourage teens.

I have been to Snowbird 3 or 4 times over the years I was in school. It is an amazing place with so much to do. I loved going there and getting to hang out with all the awesome counslors. The Zip-line is by far my favorite activity to do on the camps site. I loved getting to go off the camp site and do all kinds of other activities like horse back riding, caving, and of course white water rafting. The counslors made white water rafting an experience I will never forget, they set up places for you to jump in the river, and dress in crazy ways and are just crazy. The prayer chapel is also an amazing experience. It just opens your eyes to how many people out in the world need our prayers and it just gives you some alone time to meditate with God. Services are crazy and so much fun. The morning ones wake you up and are fun but you learn great lessons as well. The night ones are usually a little more serious but they are just so moving. They are the one's that really get you on that spiritual high that just makes you crazy for God. Brody is an awesome speaker and I always felt like he was saying exactly what I needed to hear. The break out sessions are very helpful. You can pick which ones you want and they have them on all kinds of subjects that you are dealing with in your life. They are so interesting and I loved getting to go to them and hear other counslors share about issues. This place is just so magical in a Godly way. You just feel so at home there after only a few hours and never want to leave.

My son attended their camp and had w wonderful experience, one that he hopes to repeat this year!

Snowbird changed my life. If it wasn't for Snowbird, I'de probably not be where I am today. I worked at Snowbird for 2 years and each year i grew more as an invidiual in confidence, truth and understanding of God's Word and His will for my life. I am now a Snowbird missionary in Honduras where I have served for 5 1/2 years. Snowbird is a place full or excitement, love, and acceptance...a place where you can be crazy, get dirty and it's ok. Young people come to Snowbird to have fun and get away from the world as well as receive answers to life and help with their walk with the Lord.

I went there last year on a men's retreat. The fellowship there was great, but the staff there was awesome. They ministered to our group of about 65 men with a humble spirit. The teaching was as solid teaching I have ever had. Their facility was very much adequate in all areas.

I have visited SWO many times and each time I go it meet all exceptations that I have. The first two times I went the youth I took came back with a new desire to jump into scripture and learn more about God. I feel that the SWO staff are some of the most founded in the people I have been around. I took another group of youth the 3rd weekend in Feb and those youth loved the place and are already asking to go back. The staff that was assiagned to us that weeked was just what we need to get eyes open to true Christianity. The Bible Study was awsome and the points came across very clear. The environment that is set up at SWO is a chance for students to get out of there comfort zone and trust God first and formost but it also gets them to trust total stangers. I most certian will be taking another group to SWO

SWO is a truly wonderful and dynamic experience for students. They are challenged physically, emotionally and spiritually to become the best that God has for them. The staff shows a great deal of love for every single student. I hope that every teenager gets to experience Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters.

Snowbird is an AWESOME ministry that consistently teaches the truth of the Gospel. They are making a difference in a ton of kids' lives!

Snowbird has become like a second family to me. I went there as a camper, then participated in semester OLD School program, then came on staff. It is the only camp that my youth pastor agreed to taking us because the staff are well-trained and are intentional with investing in the lives of the campers. It taught me a lot and changed the course of my life because I did things (such as backpacking or climbing) that I never thought I could conquer, but since the experience taught me so much- I decided to pursue a major in outdoor ministry.

The counslers at this camp are the most dedicated I have ever har the pleasure of dealing with. On one occasion one counsler stayed up until 3:00 am talking with several boys in out youth group giving them advise and talking about concers that mattered to them in their life.at 5:00 am they were back up doing bible study and at 7 it was breakfast and a full day of activities and recreation. This camp has the kids best interest in all their decisions. The community has gained a valuable asset in having them.

My husband and I visited the camp and spoke with the director. They have a fabulous mission and are doing everything they can to accomplish that mission for the Lord's glory.

Snowbird Outfitters provides powerful opportunities for youth to grow in their faith through worship, wilderness adventure, and tangible service to the community. The engaged staff exhibit a sincere love for Christ and the youth and communities they serve in refreshingly real and tangible ways.

As a member of Venture Church, I have witnessed what Snowbird has done to the youth that go and come back. They come back completely excited for what God has planned for their lives. This is a great company, and they are opening their doors to youth across the nation!

Having worked on summer staff at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters for two summers, I have seen how effective this camp is at incredible outdoor recreation and Christ-centered ministry. Truly the recreation is second to none. They hire so many summer staff so that no student or camper that comes through will "fall through the cracks" so to speak. This kind of staff to student ratio leads to lasting friendships that go far beyond a week of summer camp. Truly this is why SWO is one of the greatest camps I have ever had the pleasure of attending and working for.

My son attended Snowbird for the first time last summer (2010) and it was a hit! He had had a previous church-camp experience that was a disaster - emotionally and spiritually. The trip to Snowbird however, was just the opposite! He returned, totally "on fire" for the Lord, was committed to reading his bible every morning, got further involved with our youth group, has taken on many areas of service in the church, and several times has said things that convict me of my attitude and actions. My husband has also attended Snowbird for a Men's Retreat and raved about it for months...still does! Needless to say, I am feeling totally left out of the awesome experience that is Snowbird. After hearing Brody Holloway speak a couple of times, I understand why this camp is so successful...He is an awesome Man of God, with a passion for God's Word and the youth of today, and it's all presented in an atmosphere of fun and adventure!

My son went on a retreat last summer with his youth group to Snowbird and had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredible in their interaction with the students and their christ-like example. They made a huge impression on my son. He couldn't quit talking about the camp and the staff. He came back renewed in his personal relationship with the Lord. My son is going again this summer and can't wait. it was one of the best experiences in his life! As a parent, you can't ask for anything better. It is a fun place with solid biblical teaching.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters was a fantastic camp for our students to attend, not to mention a whole lot of fun for the chaperones as well. There is no end to the fun-filled activities, including a zip line, three-man swing, giant swing, archery, paint ball, white water rafting, caving, and a climbing tower. We also played basketball, soccer, and hide and seek.
Along with the fun, there were incredible chapel services w/ awesome music and solid teaching to encourage the students in their personal lives. These were supported by nightly small group sessions with the camp counselors in which the students can discuss situations they are going through with objective people who do not have any pre-judgements about them.
Finally, the camp actually has really good food w/ a full salad and soap bar and hot meals three times a day. it was the best "institutional" food we had ever eaten. Plus, there was a fully-stocked snack bar for in between meal times.

Heard about Snowbird for years. Went to my first mens retreat there last year and was blown away. Staff is incredible, committed 110 percent to what they do.
Very enjoyable atmosphere, plenty to do in spare time.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is an awesome place. i worked there for two summers and had a great experience there. SWO offers multiple off-campus extreme sports, along with a variety of on campus activities throughout a full week of camp. Even the adults who bring their students have the opportunity to relax and have fun.
i also saw a full time staff who was devoted to their volunteers and the students who came through their camp. The staff and volunteers show kindness and really care about the students who come for a week of camp. I have seen the lives of students changed beyond a week of camp. After experiencing the true love of Jesus Christ, they are changed.
SWO is a one of a kind camp!

I have attended the mens retreat and was there for half of the week when my daughters were there last summer. The fellowship with the men was awesome and hearing what Brody had to say about men and the huge responsibility we have as fathers and husbands was really eye opening. I am signed up and ready to go back for the next mens retreat.

Snowbird was where I spent two summers of my college career. I would not have traded the experience I received or the experience I was apart of for anything. The Lord's hand is on SWO because He is faithful to those who are faithful.

I have taken part in the activities of Snowbird Outfitters for 3 or 4 years now and my life would not be the same without it. As I was finishing high school, my life had many forks in the road so to speak and one was for good and others for bad. I had gotten spiritually and mentally offtrack and because of this needed guidance based on the Word of God and from solid, strong willed people. This is exactly what I received. If it were not for the activities and recreation that first intrigued me and caused me to go, I would have never reaped the additional benefits of spiritual and general life counseling that Snowbird offered and my life would be much different in a negative way. I am very thankful for all that Snowbird does and hope and pray that God will continue to provide for them so they can continue aiding others in this journey of life.

Strong Wall Academy, a new Christian school in Lawrenceville, GA chose Snowbird to host our first high school retreat. We arrived with 7 high school students and had a wonderful experience. The staff was so warm and friendly. The atmosphere was completely conducive for allowing our students to have great discipleship opportunities, reflection, as well as awesome recreational activities. Thanks to the SNO staff for making us feel welcome and for a great time to grow closer in the Lord and together as a school community!

I accompanied my children 14 and 12 years old to a youth group retreat. I honestly thought I was going on a youth group ski trip / retreat as a chaparon. I did not know I was traveling to a revival of my spirit through awesome worsip and praise! The Snowbird staff truly have their priorities in order. Living life first through praise, worship and pursuit of God and faithfully releasing Him into our everday lives is how we are supposed to live. This was a special time for me and I witnessed many of the youth receive the same as I did. My compliments go out to Snowbird for a safe and fun venue to send anyone in search of knowing or knowing more of God.

I came as a chaperone in 2004. It is a good spot for people to grow in their relationship with Christ. The teachings are Biblical. A lot of times I have heard Brody teach and he teaches on the students' level so they understand. I learned how to teach to students by Brody's example. Brody makes the teaching basic, but does not water down the truth.

I have been to Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters many times and have always enjoyed being there and getting to know the people there. The recreational activities they provide are loads of fun. The services and breakout sessions are great and the services are even better! The staff members are very caring and helpful to campers. They are also very careful about running the different rec. activities like making sure harnesses are secure and can hold weight and other insuring the safetly of all that go to the camp. This camp is an incredible place and if i could go again. I would do my best to make the most of the week, weekend, or however long the session is that I would go!

My experience with Snowbird WIlderness Outfitters has been great! I really believe that this organization is set apart from the rest for many reasons.
The first reason is the way they treat their campers. I have never been to another camp that pursued their campers like Snowbird does. When I was a student at this camp I knew that my counselor cared about my spiritual walk and wanted me to grow. My counselor even kept in contact with me after I left camp, which shows this organization goes the extra mile to make sure it's students really experience a life change and not a week change.
The second reason this organization is set apart is because of how they treat their staff. This organization not only cares about the growth of their students but also the growth of their staff. The staff becomes like a family supporting one another. The staff is also poured into by the full time staff, which makes the summer staff more capable of pouring into the students.
I can list so many more reason why this organization is set apart, but mainly this organization is set apart by its mission and the passion of those striving to fulfill that mission. I work with students full time and I would not consider taking my youth to any other camp!

As a MS/HS principal and the President of an organization serving 70 K-12 schools, I would like to say the Snowbird provides the best overall experience of any camp we have sent our students to. They have done a tremendous job of building a camp that is both full of things kids love to do, and takes advantage of the many opportunities available in the surrounding area (skiiing, white water rafting, caving, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, canoeing, just to name a few we have participated in). Their staff has an incredible ability to instantly bond with teens, then lead them to begin or deepen their walk with Christ. The spiritual side of their program is life-changing. They truly have built an experience that excites students with FUN physical activities and ignites students in their spiritual walk. FIVE STARS!!!!

I've been attending Snowbird with student for 5 years and cannot think of a better camping ministry. I haven't found a staff anywhere that can match them in spiritual depth, or in personal attention given to the students. On top of that, no one can match their recreation program.

I am a student pastor in Florida and have attended Snowbird wilderness outfitters on four different occasions. Having been to several other camps and retreat centers i have found nothing that even comes close to the service SWO provides. i also graduated with a bachelors degree in recreational management from Florida State University and with my knowledge of recreation i whole heatedly say they are leading the pack.

Snowbird is a camp dedicated to building solid Christian character in young men & women as well as the employees, volunteer helpers, and affiliates. Having worked for a camp such as theres, brought children there as campers, and myself working in the recreation field, I can confidently speak about the camp. Dedicated staff, great recreation, purpose beyond themselves, relationships that impact lives, and more are all hallmarks of Snowbird. I hope to be in a role like theirs in my lifetime.

I'm especially impressed at the staff's dedication to living what they teach. Areas for improvement might be getting staff to bathe in the Summer more frequently, but then, that's kind of hip at Summer camp.

I have gone to snowbird as a youth leader for the past three years and have continually been impressed with the fact that they are so biblically based in everything they do. The staff are so grounded in the word and it guides everything that they do. This camp is full of fun and there is never a dull moment. I would highly recommend any one who is looking for a place to take their students for summer to take them to snowbird wilderness outfitters. I know you will not be dissapointed!!!!

I attended a couples weekend in hopes of answering questions about me/my relationship being ready for marriage. What a powerful weekend it was. The staff pulled out all the stops for a great retreat. The staff connect directly with all participants and are willing and able to offer counseling/guidance. The retreat help me see that my relationship was truly ready for marriage and gave me some tools to use, now that I am married. Thanks Snowbird.

Snowbird is the camp that no other camp can compare to, when you go to snowbird someone is there to talk to and will learn your name. At snowbird they truly care about you they don't just talk to you for how long your there, they will add you on facebook, text, or email you, anything to make it more personal.

I have worked at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters for three summers now. I can personally say that this is the greatest place i have ever had the privilage to work, alongside the greatest group of people i have ever had the privilage to work with. And as far as the Gospel is concerned, my theology was shaped and imacted dramatically by Snowbird. I have also seen and been a part of the work that Christ has done through Snowbird in thousands of other peoples lives, children and adults alike.

I have been taking a youth group to Snowbird Outfitters for six years. It is one of the most well run camps I have ever experienced. The youth love it and don't want to go anywhere else after they have been once. They have plenty of activities and staff/volunteers that relate to the kids and are glad to be there for them for spiritual growth or just to spend time with. I have never seen a camp that can make so much happen with so little to work with. This camp touches the lives of many youth and adults and I think they could use and very much deserve to the win this contest

Snowbird Outfitters Inc is the most amazing camp for young people I have ever been involved with! I have 2 older children now and went with them to every youth event that I could. Snowbird was by far my favorite! They have a very unique way of teaching our youth about God. They hold nothing back and the kids are learning before they even realize they are learning. I've witnessed lives completely changed from attending this camp. The camp leaders work around the clock non-stop, I'm sure lacking in sleep, to be there for every need of the youth that are there. This camp deserves and needs the extra dollars to further their ministry and reach even more youth to change our world. They also reach out to their community to do projects that help people in need, all in the name of Jesus.

I have been working/living in the Andrews community for 3 years. I am floored daily how much this organization has reached out to the community. They do a missions program that allows elderly, handicapped, and disabled persons to have work finished around the house that they wouldn't have had done otherwise.

Snowbird is not your normal summer camp for teenagers it is so much more. They keep everyone active during the day with all different types of outdoor activies to do. The preaching is not like what you get at other camps that I have been to. The preaching is real and straight forward. The people get to know you on a personal level and really care about you.

I have been affliliated with Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters since 1999. I was a camper for 2 years during high school and then served as a summer counselor from 2001 through 2004. It is the most outstanding organization I have ever had the priviledge of being a part of. Their focus on Christ-centered living and intense discipleship sets this organization apart from every other one. My years spent at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters were truly life changing.

Snowbird is a God place. It is one of the most amazing ministries I have ever had the blessing of encountering. The staff and volunteers at Snowbird truly have the heart and mind of Christ and are reaching out to the world exactly as Jesus did. Every time I have ever been to Snowbird, I have experienced God in a way that I never could have imagined. If you get the chance to take part in anything this camp/ministry has to offer, you will be blessed beyond all you can hope or imagine.

I was told that the camp was "unlike anything else" by my friend who had worked there as a counselor the two previous summers. She had recommended the camp to me. I didn't have plans to be a counselor at all the summer but after visiting the camp for a weekend I knew I had made the right decision and I was convinced she was right.
The full-time staff is authentic, completely passionate about the Lord God and sold-out to making the name of Christ known. They are the most self-sacrificing people I've ever known. I feel priveledged to know them. They invest in *every counselor that serves on staff. The relationships between the fulltime staff and summer staff and the summer staff and the students are extremely special. They are some of the richest friendships I have. The staff are wholeheartedly committed to living out the gospel- it is incredible and unlike any other Christian group, team or organization I have ever witnessed or been apart of.
The staff trains you well. They do everything they say we can expect from them- and more. The camp is run well. The camp director is the most God honoring man I've ever met in my life. You can see how the Lord has annointed him to lead this camp. The camp has been doing student ministry for over ten years now and they have learned from their experiences what they need to do to have the summer camp run well. It is apparent by the way the camp functions that the staff has great leadership skills and much wisdom.
I've seen them handle pressure. Spiritual, physical, circumstancial emergencies they have handled with integrity and love. It is obviously God at work through them to allow them to cope so well in such dire circumstances.
I have seen students come in and be changed forever by the presence of God resonating over the camp. I've seen more miracles than I have time to tell. God definately has His hand in Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters.

My 16 year old son, Alex was invited to attend Snowbird with a few of our neighbors. What a life changing experience this was for him! He had such an awesome time tubing, biking, hanging out with old and new friends. The impact the leaders provided to these kids lives was tremendous! My son grew spiritually that week. He was impowered by the play put on by the staff and discovered all sorts of new christian based songs. I would recomend this camp to all parents for their children. All around fun, safe, wholesome environment.
Thanks Snowbird Outfitters! We'll we back!!

The most awesome and spiritually uplifting camp I have ever experienced. Action packed and fun, but very spiritually challenging. The youth as well as the adults that were able to attend had truly life altering experiences.
One 15 year old girl from my group said, "I liked all the fun stuff, but I would go back just for the bible study and church services." My youth group came home on fire for God and ready to change the world!
The staff goes out of their way to be attentive to all the campers. I love the example that they set before the young people in attendance; that the life of a christian is not the usual stereotypical boring one. Living your life for Christ is fun and exciting, and you are not alone in your walk. There are many other young christians out there that go through the same things they do.

Great place to serve for the summer, definitely saw God work in unimaginable ways. I am sure God did more in my life this summer than I could have ever thought I would see him even do in the campers lives. Legitimate Christian Community where summer staff challenge one another and support one another. No one walks away unchanged and unaffected, all encounter a genuine experience with a Holy God.

Snowbird is a necessity for any youth group leader who desires there students to get the experience of all the best outdoor recreation as well as unmatchable teachings. The staff genuinely desire for each student to have a experience like no other in a facility that God is moving in. Students leave on fire for the gospel and I beleive its because of the staff and elements of snowbird that make that possible. This is a MUST for any youth leader!!! By train, plane or car just get there!!!

I was a camper at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters. I learned so much about God and His amazing qualities. I was able to grow in my faith and love for Him. I also participated in amazing activities that helped me to depend on God more

Legit camp. Plenty of extra-curricular activities and personal time. Staff is great, facility is good, and location is detached. Recommended.

I had not been able to come to Snowbird for a summer camp because of conflicts of a previous commitment. But I was able to go on a retreat with my youth group and had an AWESOME time! I enjoyed the experience and look very much forward to a summer camp at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters!

I have been gone to Snowbird Outfitters for four years as a camper and this past summer as a chaperon for my youth group. I love the worship services. The staff has a way of gripping the full attention of the campers with amazing dramatized skits. The campus is beautiful in the summer. The log cabins and other buildings fit well in the wooded areas. But several times there has not been enough space for all of the campers, staff and youth pastors to gather together and socialize in one place. Overall, it's a great experience for youth members and youth pastors alike.

I have visited SWO on 7 different occasions for various reasons ranging from just stopping by to paying for some type of retreat. If I had to choose one word to describe them it would be 'solid'. Now if I were able to choose a bunch more words I would say that season-in and season-out the staff is 'consistent' in both sound doctrine and application. They are 'patient' with each other and with visitors so as to be quick to listen and slow to speak. They are 'eager' to share the Gospel and build up the body. They are 'focused' and 'intentional' about what they are called to do in their ministry and in their personal lives, which are basically one and the same. So let's recap: Consistent+Patient+Eager+Focused+Intentional=Solid.

i was at the camp for about 2days and i was amazed by the staff how nice they were and how encourgin about teach us about god :)

well i came to the camp not really knowing what to do and kinda on the shy side. yet talking to all the staff and getting to know some of my fellow campers has been great. this camp does a lot more then just bring friends closer and bring you out of your shell. so far this is the only camp that i could honestly say is my second home away from home, and honestly i am going to hate having to leave this camp and leaving the staff knowing that there is a chance that i may not be able to spend my next visit with these pretty amazing people.

Incredible place run by incredible people serving an incredible God!

This camp really challenged me as a believer. I worked here as a counselor in 2009 and i joind their semester program known as O.L.D.(outdoor leadership and decipleship) school the following fall. there is very solid biblical teaching and great decipleship here. as a counselor it is your job to pour your every waking moment during the summer into encouraging teaching and fellowshiping with the students. i have never seen a camp that was so focused on decipling students and their counselors. this is not a ministry that is focused on emotional evangilism that has you feeling good at camp but once you reenter the real world that camp feeling leaves and you fall in the same ways you were in 2 weeks later. this camp is impacting lives and equiping students for a life of service to Christ.

My son worked there. From the stories he has told and after meeting his friends form camp I am very impressed. The campers always leave with memories that last and a renwed commitment to God. The camp attracts quality people and produces the same.

Nobody does camp as well as Snowbird. Nobody. They have more staff, and more fully equipped and qualified staff than any other camp I've been to in eleven years of youth ministry. We've participated in their Winter Camp, Summer Camp, and Summer Mission Camps, and every one has been amazing. They get it, and we are blessed every time we're there. They have also been an incredible partner in ministry during the whole year- checking on our students and leaders, keeping us up about camp, etc. We feel like family, and we love them.

I saw a huge change in my daughter who worked, at Snowbird, as a camp counselor. She came home full of enthusiasm and willingness to serve others. It was a growing experience for her and her walk with God. She came away with more confidence in herself as a result of her involvement with Snowbird staffers and camp participants

There are few words that can describe the amazing things that Snowbird is all about. This camp is a place filled with incredible opportunities to learn about Christ and provide a very secure environment for a.nyone who goes. This place has changed my life and taught me things I will never forget.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters as a ministry has poured so much into my life. I have recieved so much love from this ministry and the Staff at Snowbird have become a familly to me. Snowbird is a ministry that uses recreation as a means building life-long relationships so that they can communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ in love. During the summer, the staff spends 16 long hours a day constantly working with kids and building relationships with them and get 4 hours of sleep per night at best. This is a ministry that is also faithul in serving its community in andrews, nc by fixing up houses, working in nursing homes, doing biblestudies with inmates, ect. Many lives, including mine, have been changed for the best while staying at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters.

Snowbird is an amazing organization that changes the lives of those who attend it. I went with the youth group from a church in IL and it was an amazing experience. The staff is totally info their career and committed to changing lives.
There were campers from our church who went and it transformed their lives forever. The impact of Snowbird even caused some to enter full time ministry.

I visited this camp to see my sons who were both summer staff workers. After one day I was regretting that I didn't have the opportunity to go as a camper and spend an entire week. A whole lot of activities for the campers and some very solid times of worship. Highly recommended for youth groups.

SWO is the most amazing and inspirational atmosphere I've ever experienced. It literally feels like you're entering an entirely different world with souled out Jesus Freaks and that is separated from the sinful world. Over the years I've attended, I've bonded with counselors such as Christian, Jakob, Travis, and Marty, that have all done a great prtion of the Lord's work and helped bring me to the young man I am today. Not only is their atmosphere breathtaking, but their attitude is Christian Insanity, and they can appeal to teenagers better than any other camp I've been to with their "Three Stooges" style humourous skits and their graphically motivational dramas.Without Snowbird, I have no clue where I'd be today in my walk with God.

I have gone to SWO for three years in a row. Every time it blows my mind again and again. It reconnects me on a level with God that I DESPERATELY need and SWO has helped me realize this. It has taken three years for me to come my closest to getting it right but this last trip has really affected me majorly. Showed me my struggles with sin and how i can fix it and i'm not alone and God cares. I really don't know where i would be without snowbird. most probably not where i am now and i'm so greatful that God would use them to communicate the necessary info to me. I LOVE SWO!!!!!!!!!

I have been going to this camp for 3 years so far and I can honestly say that the people there are real. They walk their talk. Thay have made a huge investment in my life. Whenever I needed to talk, they have always been there nomatter what. They care more for others than theirselfs. The councilers spend their whole summer investing in teens lives and repairing houses in their community when they could spend it doing things for themselves. Going to Snobird is the highlight of my year every year now!

I grew up going to this camp - and I am so thankful for that. They provide extremely solid Biblical based teaching that has helped me very much in my life. Also, the staff there are all some of the best counselors that I have ever met in my life, with the care that they have for each and every student. The recreation offered is also top notch, but as any of the staff will tell you - it's not all about the recreation, it's all done for the sake of the Gospel and to reach students with the truth.

We took about 15 youth to snowbird for a summer retreat. It was the most amazing trip. The staff at snowbird are all about helping the kids grow with the Love of Jesus in there heart. Our youth group left the week much closer and stronger. They have a true passion for the Lord and for helping our kids find a relationship with the lord.

Snowbird is the most exciting camp I have ever been to!! It was a life changing experience for me and made me become a stronger Christian. I had a rush of wanting to worship my Lord and Savior right at the time I got up in the morning. It was also packed full of worship services and tons of amazing activities. I went paint balling, horse-back riding, white water rafting and played on all the rec equipment. It was a blast, and I never felt tired even though we got in bed at 11:00pm each night!! My favorite of all the rides was the 3 man swing, I probably rode it about 5 times a day. I was always entertained and the food was delicious. But most of all, the preachers really touched my heart. One had a extremely incredible story to tell about his teen years, how he used to drink and abuse his surroundings, but now he confessed his sins and has been a follower of Jesus for a long time. But I really recommend this program because you will enjoy yourself by the perfromances from the staff ~Revelation Scene~ and at the end will have an emotional attachment that you will never let go. Its shocking how many lives they changed. It was the absolute best camp you will ever go to!!!

The staff are the strength of this program. The staff believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to work through their personal, exhaustive efforts to serve the Lord Jesus Christ by ministering to those who simply step foot onto the property. Even, if it means going to the ends of the earth, they will, and have done so, for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be proclaimed. The tremendous impact upon individuals for eternity, which marks this ministry, is primarily due to the great emphases placed upon each staff members ability to pour themselves out every hour during their 18 hour work days!

Snowbird’s staff has invested in my life for the past 7 years. People at SWO are all about building authentic relationships that encourage Christian faith. The sermons are deep and applicable. I enjoyed serving as a summer staff member.

I've been volunteering in the kitchen at Snowbird for seven years and the entire camp is awesome. My wife and I moved from Kentucky to be near Snowbird after we saw the dramatic difference his experiences there made in our son. He changed from a self-centered, rebellious highschool kid into a loving, giving, young man with high morals and a self-sacrificing spirit.

Since volunteering at Snowbird, I have seen the same type of transformation made in many lives. Aside from that, Snowbird works tirelessly in giving to the local community. The staff leads groups that do mission work for the underprivileged, such as replacing roofs, building wheelchair ramps, chopping wood for the elderly, and much more. They won a Lowe's hometown heroes award for their community work. The staff are also involved in coaching sports, substitute teaching, and otherwise engaging with the local young people.

There is really no other place quite like Snowbird for positively impacting both the community and the young campers who come through the camp's programs. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I was in the eighth grade when I went to Snowbird. I am now almost 20 and look back at it as a great life experience. There were a lot of fun and exciting things to do there, but even more important was how spirit filled all the staff were and how they helped make my experience at Snowbird a true and genuine look at how life with Christ is really suppose to be. You hear the talk, but at snowbird you see the walk! I would recommend that all youth make an effort to go to snowbird at least once in your life, because Christ will use it to change your life.

Snowbird literally has changed my life. The first time I went two years ago, my life has been changed forever. I LOVE the staff, I love the activities, the food, being outdoors, and most of all, rekindling my flame with God. "SWO" has brought me SOOOO much closer to God, and without being there and experiencing what they have to offer, I would not be where I am today. My last visit was in July of 2010, and that year I learned overall I need to do my part and share the Gospel. That is why I am on this Earth, I need to get the word out for Jesus Christ our Savior. There are no words to describe the feeling Snowbird makes one get. I love it.

Have witnessed many, many teens commit their lives to Christ, deepen their faith, or be called to a new mission for Him on the grounds of Snowbird.

Great fun and fellowsip.

God truly touched me, changed me, transformed me in this place. This is such a fun, impactful place to come every summer. I have now been 7 summers now as a student, and changed more and more into the image of Christ.

I have been working with teens for quite a few years and have been to many camps with church youth groups. My favorite is definitely Snowbird Outfitters. We took 14 teens there in the summer of 2009 and are going back in 2011 because of the wonderful program that they have. They had plenty of staff to interact with the kids, the activities were phenomenal and so varied that there was something for everyone! They do a fantastic job of keeping up with youth culture and provide an amazing opportunity for everyone to go out of their comfort zone and try something new. I went rapelling with several of the girls from my youth group. They didn't all enjoy it, but they all realized that they could push themselves more than they every thought possible. I saw them continue to try new things all week and watched as they grew more confident and ready to be challenged. It is a life-changing experience to push your boundaries and find out that you can become more than you think. I don't think most of those girls will go rapelling ever again, but they now have the confidence to try other things that seemed too scary or difficult before. Snowbird is also committed to meeting the spiritual needs of the campers. I saw kids question their faith and grow into a deeper understanding of who God is and why they should care. No student was belittled or treated badly by questioning everything they were told. In fact, they were praised for questioning rather than blindly believing what they were told and helped to work through their questions.

I went to Snowbird for summer camp in between my junior and senior years of high school. I was really impressed with everything that was done there. It was all very professional, yet at the same time, laid back. It really is a perfect environment for teenagers to be served in.

Snowbird, through the ministry of the word of God, and the work of the Spirit, helped to shape me into the person that I am today. It is a really good thing when a teenager gets to see young adults absolutely surrendered to their faith and active with it. Snowbird was one of the first places where I was exposed to good, solid expositional preaching. Brody really does an excellent job and understands the weight of preaching and teaching people.

I am going to be on staff there this summer. That in itself should speak volumes about how impressed I am with Snowbird. I would not want to spend a whole summer working with a ministry that I felt was doing something wrong. I count it a privilege to serve under and alongside the staff and leadership at Snowbird!
