Pioneer Plunge College Week 2012!
 
 
Pioneer Plunge
 
Pioneer Plunge is Windy Gap's wilderness camping experience. Designed with small groups in mind and a focus on discipleship, Pioneer Plunge offers a totally different adventure experience. Located up the valley from Windy Gap, the cabins of Plunge provide your group with the perfect mountain getaway and an amazing setting for growth in their walk with Christ.

The Adventure

The Blue Ridge Mountains provide a beautiful setting for a Plunge adventure. Three bunk cabins house groups up to 35, while the main cabin serves as meeting space, kitchen, and dining room. The facilities are rustic with no electricity or running water - just like the pioneers. An initiatives course and a trout pond also provide great mountain activities. A wide variety of program and content options allow you to tailor a trip to suit your group.

The Experience
 
Pioneer Plunge is a great facility to grow your group in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ and build community within the body of Christ. Due to the rustic setting, everyone on a Plunge trip is challenged to contribute and interact  in order to make the trip successful. The intimate setting allows for great group discussion and a unique worship experience.

The Trip
 
Pioneer Plunge operates during the school season (mid-August to mid-May). Trips typically last Friday through Sunday, but mid-week options are also available. If Pioneer Plunge sounds like it may be for you or if you would like more information, please contact Andrew Willis, at 828-645-7187 for more details and dates.

Interested in Being a Summer Guide?

Pioneer Plunge has a rich history, born out of the desire to provide a clear picture of authentic community, personal wholeness, and the transforming culture of the kingdom of God.  For this reason, we are looking for highly motivated applicants with well-developed relational skills and hands on ministry experience.  Plunge trips are very intense and guides work long hours in order to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Pioneer Plunge is neither for the fainthearted, nor for those unaccustomed to hard work.  It is an opportunity to live an serve in a unique community of guides and campers in order to build-up the kingdom of Christ.  Guides serve for one session (four to three weeks at a time) under a Guide Team Leader, similar to a summer staff position.
