Wilderness is a time or place where we encounter what is new, strange, scary, lonely, unknown or mysterious. The wilderness is a wild and beautiful time and place where we can discover the sacred within each person and all creation. The wilderness can inspire us and guide us, assuring us of God's constant presence. As the Spirit guides us through the wilderness, we find what we need to face our fears and the very real challenges that impact our world. The wilderness teaches us the importance of community and the ways we navigate challenges together. The wilderness reveals our strengths, growing edges, and potential as God equips us for the unknown still to come. The wilderness awaits us all, and God meets us there.

Scholarships Information:

Some scholarships are available for those in need of financial aid.
There are typically two types of scholarships available: Regional (Northern Lights Region funds) and Congregational (local churches provide funding). Usually each type pays 50% of registration. (We try hard to work with families on a variety of scholarship types, and some others are listed below.)
Regardless of type, scholarships must be pre-approved because this will affect the way you need to register – Regional scholarships must be pre-approved by the Regional Office; Church scholarships must be pre-approved by Church's leadership, all prior to registering.
Do not select a grant option below before being granted a scholarship – a grant will affect the way you need to register.
