“My La Vida leaders were the first one’s to recognize and encourage my leadership potential. Their positive encouragement, and the entire experience of the ADK expedition, helped me identify my passions and talents, and gave me the confidence to pursue them. Plus, they stoked my love of being in nature and taught me the skills to get out and enjoy it!”

“My trip taught me what it is to have mental and physical grit. The expedition, which is free from the many distractions of modern life, including technology, allowed me to reprioritize and refocus on God, His awesome Creation, and building authentic tight-knit relationships with those on my trip.”

Catherine

“La Vida is a transformational wilderness experience that equipped me in my personal confidence and my trust in God. If everyone in the United States went on a La Vida trip, we’d be a braver, kinder country.”

Porter

“La Vida is one of the most transformative experiences I have ever had. The integration of spiritual learning and disciplines with physical and tangible experiences make learning and leading something accessible and impactful for everyone. And this is not even to mention getting to spend 12 days exploring the jaw-dropping wonders of the Adirondacks or the depth of community and friendship bonds that it creates for lifetimes. ”

“The impact they leave on participants is incredible, and the trips themselves are formational on a personal and spiritual level. The people who work for the program make the experience so much fun and are very well trained. So grateful for the experiences I’ve had through this program!!”
