Inquire about the trip

Oklahoma is home to 52 tribes Native American tribes. In this location, your group will have the opportunity to come alongside Camp Crossway as they minister to the youth of many of these tribes through summer camp programs. Through these camps and special programs, our partners at Camp Crossway hope to restore and strengthen families so their future is one of hope and peace. Let's come alongside and help them achieve that goal. Your team will grow a lot in the process.

What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

Mission teams often struggle to get next to Native teens on reservation missions.  Here, your team will eat, sleep, play, and live with them for four days, Monday through Thursday!  Local youth have come to trust our partners.  They are very receptive to mission teams.  Great care must be taken to preserve that trust.  Your group will have the opportunity to make new friends and relationships that may last for years after your mission!
 
Our hosts are known, trusted, and beloved by people of the region, not only for their ministry to Native youth and kids, but for their warm and generous hearts. Camp attendance fees are very inexpensive, and often scholarships are given to kids who can’t afford even that. They serve Native tribes from all over the state. 
 
Teams should be students in Middle School and/or Senior High. Maximum group size is 25; minimum group size is 15.

Ministry

  • Assist at Camp: a faith-based summer camp for kids and youth this summer. A four-day, overnight Bible camp for Native kids in 6th-9th grades; and a four-day set of Day Camps for kids in K-5th grades.  What amazing opportunities!
  • Red Rock Outreach: About 20 miles from Camp our hosts runs a snack shop, clothes bank, and counseling center in Red Rock. It is a very popular place in the community and is a great location to work with Pastor Jimmy to customize your trip activities!
  • Red Rock Community Vacation Bible School: Prepare and host a local VBS for this rural community.  There are not many summertime offerings for this local community so your team could get to know many community kids and their families to make this a community mission!

Lodging
If camp is in session, your team will divide and sleep on one side of this very large main lodge. You will have bunk beds and be in the same large section with the Native kids. The Camp will have an adult or two also in each section to monitor the kids’ needs and behavior. Each dorm section feeds into the huge dining and open area. There are bathrooms in each section, with 4 each toilets, sinks, and showers.

If camp is not in session, your team will stay at the Red Rock community church. Here, your group will also have divided sleeping arrangements, bathrooms, showers and kitchen facilities. 

Travel
If you fly, Tulsa’s airport is about 80 miles from camp. Stillwater’s airport is smaller but only 22 miles from camp. Please be sure to plan ahead which rental vehicle options are available for you. Camp Crossway is located in Pawnee, Oklahoma. Throughout the week, teams will use their own vehicles for transportation.

Training debriefing
Once you commit and get connected with your mission coordinator, they will walk you through Pre-Trip Training WHY DO WE GO ON MISSION TRIPS? To learn how to reach people for Jesus! We practice what we learn while preparing and being on the mission trip. We then continue to do these things back home, to reach people there. Jesus wants people to spend eternity with Him. We get to participate in that. This trip will train and transform you. Time spent at the feet of Jesus results in ministry. True ministry comes from the overflow of time spent with Jesus and the leading of the Holy Spirit. It’s vital that we spend time in the presence of God! Adventures in Missions 5 Objectives: 1) Listening in Prayer You will have the opportunity to hear and discern God’s voice through prayer and scripture, and then obey the direction God gave! Everyone will have opportunity to be sensitive to the Spirit’s specific leading in personal ministry during the trip. John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” 2) Make a Meaningful Relationship Led by the Holy Spirit, you will be able to build a meaningful relationship through ministry with your host, teammates, and locals within the community. Seeking out that person each day, will demonstrate the love of Jesus. John 15:12-15 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” 3) Meet a Felt Need You will be able to respond to God’s specific direction to meet a local person’s practical need! This could be prayer, making a meal, giving out a hygiene kit, or perhaps a very specific answer to a prompting by the Holy Spirit during a prayer walk, for example. Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” 4) Share Your Faith You will share the Good News, which is more than a Gospel presentation, or rehearsed testimony, it’s your life! You will listen in prayer to know whom to share with, what to share, and how to share it. This could include a formal Gospel presentation or personal testimony. Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 5) Debrief & Respond Assisted by the Mission Leader, you will learn to identify and share (debrief) what God has done each day. Everyone will have the opportunity to respond to God in gratitude, praise, and worship. At the end of the trip, you will have a final debrief to highlight key takeaways from your trip! Hebrews 10:24-25 “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
