Grow in your understanding of God’s work in our world and His passion to see the unreached know Him.

Travel to our beautiful Ethnos Campus in Durham, Ontario by highway coach from Nipawin, SK (pick-ups available along the route). Once you are at the campus you will participate in our Off The Grid experience for three days.

These unique Jungle Camp houses are made by our missionary students, from cedar poles, plastic, duct tape, and mud for the stove. Discover what it’s like to live off the grid with no electricity, in preparation for cross-cultural missions.

For the remainder of the week, you will then stay in a regular student apartment (with all the conveniences).

Experience informative teaching sessions, activities, campfires, great food and time spent with veteran missionaries in our beautiful rustic setting.

There is also a one-day trip planned to visit Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Discover God’s heart for the nations and the role that He has for you in fulfilling the Great Commission.

Ideal for highschoolers, college and career.
