    Journey of the Cross is an awesome, high adventure camping experience! Campers build community on our low and high ropes challenge course, bike on the scenic Gandy Dancer Trail, rock climb at Interstate Park, canoe  down the St. Croix River, and horseback ride at Ox Lake. The adventures we experience are symbolic of the struggles we face in our own faith journeys, and we embrace the life-long challenge to take up our cross and follow Jesus wherever he leads. Campers should bring their own bike and helmet: spares are available.

    The ROOTS of a plant go beneath the surface to provide strength for plants to stand and to supply them with water during dry times.  As students are facing the challenges of high school and preparing for what’s next, a ROOTS week at Luther Dell will challenge them to consider where they are choosing to root their hearts.  Together, we will continue to develop out faith through worship, relationships, activities, and service.  Come and grow the ROOTS of your faith with us.  (Bus fee is greater for Luther Dell because of distance)
