Why LDW?
Why LDW?
You are a college student and are excited to spend a part of your summer growing in your relationship with God and in your ability to lead, love and serve the people around you. You want an adventure this summer, but more importantly you want to give God the chance to transform you by spending a few weeks in the wilderness. If this describes you at all, LDW is the experience for you!
LDW is not just a summer of thrills and excitement.
While you will definitely have an exciting summer, LDW is not just about experiencing thrills; instead, the focus is on using the unique environment of the wilderness to create opportunities for holistic character growth. This character development will prepare you to be transformational leaders for service in Christ’s kingdom in the wilderness, on campus, with family and peers, in pursuit of a career and in all other areas of your life.
You will spend 4 weeks with a team of instructors who have chosen ministering to college students as their vocation and who are excited about the chance to spend so much time getting to know you and investing in your growth.
