GEMS Outdoors: Outdoor Experiences. Biblical Truth. Real Growth.
GEMS Outdoors helps girls explore God’s world while growing in their faith through hands-on, Scripture-centered experiences.
Designed for churches, community groups, and current GEMS clubs, GEMS Outdoors gives leaders a flexible way to help girls move, wonder, reflect, and build meaningful relationships.
GEMS OUTDOORS DIGITAL SESSIONS
GEMS Outdoors Sessions give you everything you need to lead meaningful, hands-on discipleship experiences with girls—no complicated prep required.
With one purchase, you’ll receive access to all 12 sessions as downloadable PDFs. Each session is flexible, easy to adapt, and designed to help girls explore, reflect, and grow in their faith.
Each session includes:
- Leader guidance with clear, step-by-step direction
- A focused Scripture passage
- Hands-on outdoor activities (adaptable to your setting)
- Discussion and reflection prompts
- Printable journal pages for each session
GEMS Outdoors can be used weekly, monthly, seasonally, or for special gatherings. Clubs can use it as their primary GEMS curriculum or alongside another GEMS curriculum.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
Support your GEMS Outdoors experience with flexible tools for both leaders and girls.
GEMS Outdoors Handbook
The GEMS Outdoors Handbook is your go-to companion for leading with confidence.
It includes helpful guidance, session flow reminders, and practical tips so leaders can focus less on preparation and more on building relationships with girls.
A digital version is included with the GEMS Outdoors Sessions, with printed copies available for leaders who prefer a physical reference.
GEMS Outdoors Journal
Each GEMS Outdoors session includes printable journal pages designed to help girls pause, reflect, and respond to what they are learning.
Clubs can print these pages each week—or choose a different approach.
You may prefer to use the GEMS Outdoors Journal, which gives girls a dedicated place to:
- Write down key verses and truths
- Reflect on what they noticed and learned
- Record what they experienced
- Remember how God is at work in their lives
The journal is flexible and can be used throughout the season during GEMS Outdoors, at other GEMS gatherings, or on a girl’s own time. Over time, it becomes a record of what they’ve learned and how they’ve grown.
