Youth Dynamics offers several programs for young adults and teens to get involved in ministry and build a stronger relationship with Jesus. Check out how to get involved below!
Adventure Bible School
Stonewater Adventure Bible School will disciple, equip, and empower adults 18 and older by providing a safe, engaging, and adventure-centric learning environment for discovery, leadership, and faith. Stonewater is the ideal location for this 5-week course integrating technical outdoor skills, bible teaching, worship, community, and wilderness adventure. The course is offered twice a year (fall and spring) and aims to increase personal faith, Biblical knowledge and application, self-discovery, personal responsibility, teamwork, and one’s leadership potential.
Life and Leadership Training
This 6-week internship is an opportunity for juniors and seniors in highschool, to work closely with stateside missionaries who use wilderness adventures to share the love of Christ. Students will experience discipleship, adventure, challenge, and leadership. The program runs from July to August each year and students may experience Inflatable Kayaking, Whitewater Rafting, Rock Climbing, Horseback Riding, Backpacking, Hiking, Challenge Course, and Mountaineering. (Note that experiences vary depending on adventure base location.) This is a highly relational and discipleship-based program, emphasizing individual and group exploration of culturally relevant topics and present experiences.
Internships
Youth Dynamics offers two internship pathways designed to help you grow in your faith, leadership, and calling.
The Ministry Experience Internship is a flexible unpaid 3–18 month opportunity for those exploring ministry or seeking a short-term missionary experience, providing immersive involvement in relational, adventure-based ministry alongside experienced staff.
The Summit Internship is a structured paid 10-month discipleship and leadership internship that equips emerging leaders through intentional spiritual growth, mentorship, and practical ministry experience.
Together, these internships offer meaningful opportunities to engage in real ministry, develop leadership skills, and discern how God may be leading your future.
Horsemanship
Horses are a unique ministry partner. Our certified wranglers desire to connect our horses with students, allowing relationships to develop, which provides an avenue for sharing the Gospel. Through exploring local trails, students are challenged in their horsemanship skills while immersing themselves in the beauty of the Cascades. Our Horse ministry allows various experiences, including overnight camping trips, year-round Bible study, and horsemanship courses.
