520 $a Results from the study demonstrated an overall positive impact on spiritual growth as a result of combining explicit Christian spiritual teaching with adventure based activities.
520 $a The effects of an adventure based program utilizing challenge course, backpacking, and whitewater rafting, combined with explicit Christian spiritual teaching was investigated. Adolescents aged 16 to 20 participated in the two-week experience designed for spiritual growth.
520 $a Spiritual growth was assessed with a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The Shepherd Scale, a 25 item pen and paper survey instrument, was utilized with a pretest posttest control group design to examine spiritual growth. Two sub-scales within the Shepherd Scale addressed the constructs of spiritual Walk and spiritual Belief. A focus group with selected participants was employed to obtain a more comprehensive picture of spiritual impact.
520 $a Experimental group scores on the Belief Sub-scale increased significantly from pretest to posttest while control group scores did not increase. Both experimental and control group scores on the walk sub-scale increased significantly, leading to a lack of meaningful conclusion.
520 $a The focus group yielded three themes, recreation, relationships, and rewards. Challenge course activities and the backpacking trip, including a solo time, produced the highest frequency of positive comments related to spiritual growth. Relationships with peers and their immediate counselors (coaches) were a positive spiritual influence on participants as well. Rewards included learning about perseverance, personal talents, and spending significant time alone with God. Members of the focus group placed less emphasis on the more formal explicit spiritual teaching methods when compared to the action oriented components.
