THE AIRSTREAM BASECAMP PROJECT

THE AIRSTREAM BASECAMP

The Vision…

To transform a vintage Airstream into a multipurpose basecamp that will serve in the following ways…

1. Outdoor Ability Restoration (OAR)

  • The trailer will be modified to provide a basecamp for handicap individuals
  • Primary outdoor adventure will be adaptive kayaking
  • Modification will include ramp and large toilet/shower

2. Prayer Stream

  • A mobile prayer room that could be set up at various locations including college campuses to provide prayer ministry.

3. Outdoor Adventure

  • Blueprint for Men provides many outdoor adventure activities where a basecamp would be helpful.
  • Features of the camper would be…
    • Toy hauler capability with ramp access in rear.
    • Large bathroom as per modification for handicap people
    • Kitchen would be outside under the awning to provide larger space for group
    • The interior will provide flexible space for meeting and sleeping

4. Promoting Blueprint for Men

  • This trailer could be pulled to events where men’s ministry could be promoted.
