This is a leadership training program for young military
personnel starting their careers. Phase one is an 8-day
outdoor adventure experience focusing on Biblical leadership
through such activities as rock climbing, rappelling,
backpacking, white water rafting, mountain biking, Bible
study, and lots of personal interaction. This phase
is conducted by the U.
S. Officers' Christian Fellowship at their
Spring
Canyon retreat facility in central Colorado.
Phase
two is conducted by ACCTS. Some of the material
in Interaction USA is adapted to the age and experience
level of the delegates and presented in seminar sessions.
This is followed by a visit to the Air Force Academy
and military facilities in the Colorado Springs area.
During these visits the participants stay in the homes
of military Christians and have a chance to interact
with them.
Whenever an Interaction Rocky Mountain High program
is scheduled, the Coordinator will request nominations
to participate from prior participants, MCF leaders,
all the AMCF officers and staff members of ACCTS, Accts
MMI, and MSO. Persons to be nominated should:
Have made a profession of faith or demonstrated
an interest in doing so,
Be a cadet, midshipman, officer candidate, or a
newly commissioned officer,
Have the opportunity to make an impact in the military
of their respective country for some time in the future,
Be in good physical condition in order to participate
in the activities of phase one.
Have a good working knowledge of English, both written
and oral, in order to participate safely in the physical
activities of phase one,
Be available to be in the United States for two
weeks plus travel time.
Once candidates have been selected, the Coordinator
will notify the AMCF officers and staff members of ACCTS,
Accts MMI, and MSO of those who have been selected.
ACCTS will then assist with the documentation required
for permits and make all necessary travel arrangements.
Individual participants and national MCFs will be requested
to help with travel expenses as they are able. ACCTS
will pay the remaining balance of travel expenses. ACCTS
and the OCF will cover all program expenses, but not
personal expenses, for the participants. Once the program
has begun, participants are expected to remain with
the group until the entire program has been completed.
Personal business and visits with friends and relatives
in the US or other countries should be scheduled either
prior to or following the program.
