Outdoor education (OE)

Outdoor education (OE) gives the high school students of Hillcrest School experience outside the walls of the classroom, interacting with the people groups of Papua. OE is a two-week project where the students and staff are stretched and challenged academically, spiritually and emotionally. They must give up self-focus and work together as a group, often helping established ministries with medical, literacy, educational, agricultural, and/or other work projects. Most years the groups also get to experience life in a smaller village where students interact with people and show genuine care and the love of Christ.
