'I came seeking clarity. I left with confidence courage and a renewed sense of calling.'

These three women just attended 40-Day Leadership Training.

βœ“ Growth in strength and courage as disciples
βœ“ Development of leadership skills they use daily
βœ“ Cleansing and transformation through the Holy Spirit
βœ“ Confidence boldness daring and enthusiasm
βœ“ Clarity on how God wants to use them

PARENTS: Your son has options for summer camp.

So what makes WILDERNESS CHALLENGE different?

🎯 SMALL GROUP = PERSONAL INVESTMENT

Most camps: 50-100+ kids
Wilderness Challenge: Only 12 boys

Your son won't get lost in the crowd.
He'll be KNOWN. SEEN. INVESTED IN.

6 trained leaders for 12 boys = 2:1 ratio.

🎯 CHARACTER FOCUS

Most camps: Activities and fun
Wilderness Challenge: Character development through challenge

Yes we do activitiesβ€”
But every activity is designed to build:
β†’ Honor Leadership Integrity
β†’ Discipline Courage

🎯 BIBLICAL FOUNDATION

Most camps: Maybe a devotional
Wilderness Challenge: Study of God's mighty men throughout the week

We're not just teaching skills.
We're forming GODLY MEN.

🎯 WILDERNESS SETTING

Most camps: Comfortable facilities
Wilderness Challenge: Real wilderness at Wilderness North

Comfort doesn't build character.
Challenge does.

Your son will be pushed.
He'll be stretched.
He'll discover what he's capable of.

And he'll come home DIFFERENT.

Why does the 40-DAY happen at Wilderness North?

Because LOCATION matters.

πŸ”οΈ WILDERNESS SETTING
β†’ 50 miles north of Duluth Minnesota
β†’ Lake Superior National Forest
β†’ Away from distractions
β†’ Private accommodations for solitude

This isn't a retreat center with conference rooms.
It's WILDERNESS.

And wilderness does something cities can't:

βœ“ Creates SPACE for God to speak
βœ“ Removes DISTRACTIONS so you can focus
βœ“ Provides CHALLENGE that builds character
βœ“ Offers BEAUTY that inspires worship
βœ“ Demands DEPENDENCE that grows faith

During your 40 days you'll:
β†’ Experience solitude and unplug completely
β†’ Read great literature without interruption
β†’ Spend significant time with God and His Word
β†’ Enjoy a 3-day sailing adventure around Apostle Islands
β†’ Study pray reflect and grow in this stunning setting

The wilderness isn't just the backdrop.
It's part of the formation.

Ancient spiritual leaders knew this:
β†’ Moses spent 40 years in wilderness
β†’ Elijah was sustained in wilderness
β†’ John the Baptist prepared in wilderness
β†’ Jesus was led into wilderness for 40 days

Your 40 days could be YOUR wilderness moment.

One thing that makes LEADERSHIP QUEST unique:

ADULTS AND HIGH SCHOOLERS learn TOGETHER.

This isn't just a youth group retreat.

It's an INTERGENERATIONAL leadership experience.

Here's why this matters:

πŸ§‘ HIGH SCHOOLERS GAIN:
β†’ Adult mentors who invest in them
β†’ Models of mature leadership
β†’ Affirmation from people they respect
β†’ Wisdom from life experience
β†’ Relationships that continue after the week

πŸ‘¨ ADULTS GAIN:
β†’ Fresh perspective from the next generation
β†’ Opportunity to pour into young leaders
β†’ Renewed energy and vision
β†’ Joy of seeing students grow
β†’ Reminder of what matters

πŸ“– IT'S BIBLICAL:
β†’ Paul and Timothy
β†’ Elijah and Elisha
β†’ Jesus and the disciples
β†’ Older teaching younger (Titus 2)

In our age-segregated culture this is RARE.

And it's POWERFUL.

Parents: Send your high schooler.
Adults: Come be a mentor.

Together you'll experience leadership formation like nowhere else.
