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!
