We're inviting high school student leaders from churches and schools across New England to come to Gordon College for a special weekend which will stretch, encourage and embolden them. Each participant in the weekend will take on the challenge of Gordon's LaVida high ropes course and indoor climbing wall. Community - Talking, learning and worshipping together. Leaders discover what can be done together that can't be done alone. Service - Sometimes leaders are forced to do the unpleasant for no other reason than it has to be done.
Leaders come to understand what is is to be a servant.
With that in mind, we're asking each participant to being a pair of work gloves and be prepared to spend some time working alongside others providing service. After a busy day of being stretched, participants will have the opportunity to sit with others and dream of what God might do through them to impact their schools and communities. If groups or individuals would like to come a day early or stay an extra day to visit classes on the Gordon campus, arrangements can easily be made. We want SLW participants to get a taste of college life, so we will stay in the Gordon dormitories. Students will stay with students, thus increasing the opportunities for conversations and discussions of the many challenges presented during the weekend.
