redsnapper Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Just went to a hs conference and totally missed Dr. Jeff Meyers talks. But a friend told me it was just what I was looking for for my 19yo niece. Anybody know much about Summitt ministries or something similar? Thanks, Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I've known several young men and women who have attended Summit Ministries in Colorado and have loved it and recommended it highly to all their friends. No personal experience, though. One of my pastor's daughters met her future husband there - they've been married about 20 years now.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Don't they publish Understand The Times? We went thru that as a resource when ds homeschooled. Liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVA Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Summit Ministries is a discernment ministry directed towards high school and college-aged kids. Our 2 oldests went there and it's great. Dr. Jeff Meyers took over for David Noebel- the author of "Understanding the Times" and from we can read/see, if doing a great job. They've also expanded the 2-week camp to Bryan College in TN. I HIGHLY recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsnapper Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 I noticed that each you ladies who responded are from Virginia. Does Summit or Dr. Meyers have a big presence/support out there, or do you just to be from the same area? Just curious.... Do you happen to know, I heard tidbits of how this program can help a YA figure out a direction in life. Not necessarily a specific job, but an area of focus. Have you heard anything about that?

SonshineLearner Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi from Oregon :) My dad has been one of the speakers at the Summit held in Colorado for years..... He usually speaks at one session... or maybe more if it fits. We're committed to sending each of our kids at least once. We've sent two so far :) Per day it's actually less than camp, per day... The year our 2nd daughter went I was kinda jealous! I knew who many of the speakers were and would have liked to hear them! My 2nd daughter down still keeps in contact with the friends she met... through FB :) If you want to write a paper after, you can pay extra and get college credit. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtsmamtj Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I have used some of their stuff with my now 18 year old. Will use it with the others also. I have heard Jeff Meyers speak at a local conference here in Oregon in the past. I have a friend who just sent her son to their Colorado camp this summer. Sorry, no personal experience though.

Sandy in Indy Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 My dd went to the camp in TN and has taught Understanding the Times several times to hs groups. I HIGHLY recommend their materials! I don't know that Summit would necessarily help a kid find direction vocationally, if that's what you're looking for. You can look at their website http://www.summit.org/ for more information.
