Our mission is to build character and hope for tomorrow in young people by helping them find and extend their limits through encounters with themselves, those around them, and Jesus Christ in the wilderness.

Our unique all-summer wilderness program for young people ages 13 - 17 challenges each student in every area of his or her life. Our approach balances group experience and solitude, physical challenge and skills learning, supportive relationships and structured activity. Our caring staff provide role modelling, direction, support, and esteem for each student, to help them overcome themselves and meet the demands of the program and of group life. Ultimately, their example and teaching set the stage for our students to confront the person each is becoming and the claims of Christ on their lives.
