Two Ways to Make an Impact

We will be running a camp for Palestinian and Israeli children to facilitate understanding and reconciliation between them. Days will be spent working directly with the children doing activities and programs for them.  Evenings will be spent learning about the Middle Eastern culture and history and exploring the historical sites in Israel.

Each high school or college student will be assigned (as CIA) to either a camper with special needs or a behind the scenes service job (as Barnstormer) in camp. The CIA will become a "parent" for a week; changing, bathing, feeding and loving their camper. The Barnstormer spends nearly every minute making sure the camp is running whether it is serving food or cleaning. Camp is filled with tons of activities, great parties and fun filled meals. It's non-stop and fulfilling!

Medical personnel are encouraged to join the team to serve in the MOH hospital and/or clinic.

Kensington partners with other churches supporting the Pokot Outreach Ministry, national pastors and national medical professionals to provide for the health and spiritual needs of the Pokot using mobile medical clinics. This trip requires attendance at 4 monthly meetings prior to leaving, as well as the 2 week committment in Kenya. These pre-trip meetings will provide you with the information needed for the cultural differences, team bonding and training. Our team will be housed in the bush at a base camp with dorm sleeping. We drive 2-3 hours daily to a prepared meeting place, reaching the Pokot with the love of Christ by sharing the Gospel and providing for basic health needs.

Reverse New York is a special trip designed at racial reconciliation for the kingdom of God. Our world is becoming more and more diverse, and and the need to learn to be with and minister to people of all ethnicitiies has never been higher. Students on this trip will come on an application only basis, and must have a strong desire for racial reconciliation.

The trip will be co-led by Shacha Nall, who is a devout Christian and consultant for major corporation and organizations on the issue of racial reconciliation. Students will be actively trained by her on a daily basis, and will dive deeply into the history of racial injustice as well as learning the current stories of what is happening in the lives of their peers.

We are looking for a maximum of 15 students and five leaders. There will be students and leaders of multiple ethnicities and cultural backgrounds on this trip.

A typical day will include reconciliation trainings (that students will be able to take into their daily lives and schools), devotions, time to get to know each other, understanding cultural identity and Christian identity, serving in NYC (homeless shelters, kitchens, etc), and meeting with major NYC faith leaders (like Craig Mayes of the NYC Rescue Mission).

We will be living at Kensington Troy preparing to be a part of a SpringHill experience through a week long Day Camp by purposeful, child-oriented activities, building trusting relationships with them, and turning everything into an environment that is child-centered and a model of God's love for His people. 

You will be a Day Camp Counselor, and will create a one-week experience for a child that can be the foundation of his or her life with Christ.

If you're looking for a rewarding and challenging spring break, sign up today to see how you can help children reach Christ.

Bring the magic of SpringHill Day Camps to grade school students from Rogers Elementary in Pontiac. The trip begins on Monday, April 1, with training for a 3-4 day camp from Tuesday to Friday April 5, with a final team day April 6.

Many students at these elementary schools have nothing to do over Spring Break / vacation, and parents have to work. You will be providing an incredible service to these families, as well as being able to spread the gospel to young children who may never hear it otherwise.

Students will sleep at the Orion campus building.

This two week trip requires a great deal of commitment. For several months prior to the trip the team is actively involved in cultural training, medication collection and organization. During the two week trip the team conducts 5 clinics in three locations serving approximately 900 men, women and children. Medical care is provided on a very basic level. The focus of our trip is not necessarily to heal bodies, but rather to show Jesus' love in a tangible way. During the two weeks the team also participates in Sunday services leading Sunday School classes, attends after-school Bible classes, visits the Indian Ocean, spends a day at a nearby game park, and takes every opportunity to do life with the people of eSikhawini
