The demands of the wilderness will push you outside of your comfort zone and stretch you to the limit.
Wilderness Journey for First Year Students is an extended wilderness experience program that utilizes the wilderness for a personal growth experience focused on your relationship with God, others, yourself, and your natural surrounding.
It is a unique opportunity to begin your preparation for college as you reflect on your life, the lessons you have been learning, and the relationships you have developed.
