What is TREK: It’s all about the T-factor: Teaching, Training, and Truly seeking God Together. Add a healthy dose of outdoor adventure with other students from across the Midwest for five great days to start off the summer break! Students will join a growing group of emerging student leaders and volunteers each day as we tee off enjoying the beautiful bluffs and deep valleys of Southwestern Wisconsin. While focusing on leadership, ministry planning and their walks with God, daily adventures may include canoeing, wall climbing, ropes course, zip line, tower swing, and dinner on the beach (all of which are optional to participate in, and none are high risk activities) . Students taking the five-day leadership trek will discover how they can make the maximum impact for Christ on their campus!

What if I am the only student coming from my campus? No worries, you will be put on a team of 8-10 other students and you will get to know them throughout the week.
Do I need any money? Everything is included in the cost except the cost of driving to the camp and lunch on the way if you desire to stop.
Transportation? It is on your own. We encourage you to find others from your campus that you might be able to car pool with. There is plenty of parking at the camp. Please use the Living Waters Bible Camp website to get directions or the address of the camp.
How do I pay? If you did not pay the full amount on-line you can pay the remainder when you get to the camp. We are set up for credit cards, cash, or checks. Please make checks out to “Cru”.
How do I raise support? If you are in need of raising some of, or all of, the registration cost for TREK, here is a sample letter with helpful letter writing tips.
