Life On The Edge: Colorado

"Life On The Edge: Colorado" is a nine day, intense retreat experience for high school teens and young adults.  It is 9 days of intense physical challenges, community building, leadership training, and prayer experiences. The goal of the experience is for participants to encounter God and His Church through intense experiences of faith, physical adversity, and intellectual depth.

When is LOTE:C?

Friday, June 29 - Saturday July 7. We will be leaving June 29 from Oshkosh, WI. Our bus will travel to Dubuque, IA to pick up the squads from the Archdiocese of Dubuque. We will be staying overnight in Omaha, NE both on the way there and on the way home. We'll return to Dubuque and Oshkosh on July 7.

 

How much does it cost?

Cost is on a per squad basis. For a squad of 6-8 total participants, the total cost is $3,500. We have room for 2 squads and will be doing fundraising that is expected to raise most (if not all) of the total amount.  There is a $100 deposit required to reserve your spot.

That cost includes transportation, lodging, food, whitewater rafting, park fees, and other costs. There will be a 3 meals during our travel days that are not included.

Who can attend LOTE:C?

The trip is open to incoming freshmen through outgoing seniors.  Ideal candidates for this trip are teens who are interested in experiencing the outdoors, are physically capable, are up for a challenge, are interested in growing closer in their relationship with God, and are willing to be stretched beyond their comfort zones.  

We have only 14 spots available, so reserve yours today!
