The mission of Deerfoot is to build Godly men in a Christ-centered community through wilderness camping. In this Deerfoot Conversation, Chief Nick Dotti, Mike Syvertsen and Chris Rivers discuss the 3rd part to Deerfoot’s mission and focus on what wilderness camping looks like in a Deerfoot context.

Mike has served in the Army for over 16 years as an Infantry officer in the 82nd Airborne Division and as a Special Forces officer in 3rd SFG(A) and 7th SFG(A). His operational experience includes six deployments to Afghanistan and one to Iraq. He currently resides in Nato Special Operations Headquarters in Belgium. Chief Craig is the Director of Deerfoot Lodge Blue Ridge. Chris works for Grace Church in Greenville SC. In this interview Nick asks Mike to address three ideas:

1. What does “wilderness camping” mean to you?

2. How did the wilderness camping aspect of Deerfoot prepare you for seeking out challenges in a profession?

3. How do you see the other aspects of the Deerfoot mission… “in christ-centered community” to bring about the “building godly men”. Connecting to “wilderness camping”?
