The more things change, the more they stay the same? The only constant is change? If you’re not riding the wave of change, you’ll find yourself underneath it? Whatever your cliché du jour, the truth is, things aren't the same as they were a quarter century ago, and outdoor ministry is not immune to the shifts.

On this episode, Jake and Jared welcome Chad Hershberger from Camp Mount Luther on to talk about trends in camp over the past quarter-century, and if those trends will continue (trending), change directions (bending), or stop in their tracks (ending). We're covering shifts in staffing, parenting, technology, facilities and expectations, and church engagement.

We need your thoughts too! Comment trending, bending, or ending on Facebook, Instagram, or our website.
