While the purpose of this trip is spiritual renewal and growth, there are individual and group responsibilities that must be taken seriously in order to receive credit for this course.

The girls will be divided into small groups. Each group will be responsible for one day of cooking (dinner) and one day of meal clean up.

Each evening, we will study through the Francis Chan video series, “Finding Truth.” Each student will have a study guide she will complete during this time as well as during her own private quiet time each morning.

Each day there will be a group activity such as hiking, horseback riding, kayaking…...as well as free time at the cabin for reading, games, cooking, etc…

There will be hiking, zip lining, canoeing, and even a night of camping under the stars. Costs are currently based on a size of twelve students.

This week-long course is designed to challenge 9th-12th grade boys to explore Biblical masculinity in the wild and rugged environment of Catalina Island. On this remote island, located off the coast of California, students will study Biblical principles that are foundational to Godly manhood while exploring, engaging, and interacting with the “wild side” of Catalina Island. Students will catch and clean fish, search for moray eels, dive through wild kelp forests in search of marine life, kayak along the island coastline, hike the rugged terrain seeking wild buffalo, and possibly swim with dolphins—if their nerves can take it. This course is NOT for the “faint of heart”, but only for the young man who enjoys conquering the unknown, thrives on adventure, and wants to explore what it means to be a “Real Man”.
