Students plan their own program by choosing which religious groups to learn about. Includes visits to nearby religious communities, and relating these experiences to their own growing faith.

High School:
Our high school students take an active role in determining what happens during their time together. They are given opportunities and responsibilities in making plans to attend conferences, hikes, video reviews, painting their room, and deciding on topics for discussion. This group provides a forum where questions, ideas, opinions and information can be shared in a safe and respectful manner. This is a great group in which to develop leadership skills, and make life-long friends.
