POLL: Summer Camps or Mission Trips?

Each summer I debate over and over again, which “camping” option should the youth program do – a summer “bible” or “outreach” camp or a mission trip.  Each are great summer trips to do, it just all depends on your preference.  My preference has always been to do Mission Trips.  I prefer Mission Trips for 3 primary reasons:

  1. My life was changed during a mission trip so I want to give other students a similar experience
  2. I have seen so many lives changed during a mission trip.
  3. I prefer to leave “camps” to organizations like Young Life who have great summer camping options.
So what do you think?  What is your preference?  TAKE A MINUTE and take the poll and comment on why you believe that.
