I want to go to Base Camp to learn. Lately, I'll admit, I've been struggling with my faith, questioning God and everything that he is and what he does. I think I need to hear some good honest answers to some hard, deep questions. As soon as I heard about the camp, I felt this tugging to just go. I really think I need to go because I want to understand and learn and have that deep relationship with God again. Faith isn't easy but I'm ready to listen and learn. 

Sometimes, the Bible sounds ridiculously fiction. Some of the stories sound so amazing but fake. I want to learn why we should trust the Bible and what to say when people have questions. I don't want to be the person that says I have faith but can't really continue with why. I want to be educated. 

ABOUT Base Camp 2016 & Fundraising

Base Camp costs about $800 per student. Faith Ascent's donors and corporate sponsors already covered half of these costs. Thank you for making a tax deductible donation towards the remaining half! 

Base Camp is 5 days and 4 nights of strategic preparation for the challenges and opportunities college bound Christians will be presented with. In a real college environment our expert teaching team will answer the tough questions Christian teens are asking (and being asked). Questions including but not limited to:

- Is all truth relative? What about moral or religious "truths"?  
- Does science contradict or compliment Christianity's creation account? 
- Are our Bible's reliable and accurately copied? How do we know? 
- Were the Biblical authors telling the truth? How do we know? 
- Was the resurrection a real historical event? How do we know?
- Was the Jesus messiah narrative plagiarized from earlier pagan myths?   
- What exactly is the Christian gospel? What are false gospels? 
- Are Christian sexual ethics outdated and bigoted? (Hint: NO!)
- What do people of other religious faiths actually believe?
- What do agnostics and atheists actually believe? 
- What does evangelism and witnessing look like in a post-Christian culture?
