Excursion Overview
Wilderness LT utilizes remote wilderness locations to completely remove participants from the distractions and compulsions of modern society. There is little with which to idly pass the time, to distract, or amuse. These excursions are not to be mistaken for extreme camping trips or outdoor adventure. WLT provides participants five days of isolation and solitude in a wilderness setting in order to reflect deeply on their lives and in which to seek God. The potential to go deeper with God, to receive clear direction, and to experience profound life transformation is immeasurable.
The five days of solitude include three days of fasting and one day of silence. Including the travel days of departing and returning home WLT excursions are nine days in length. Seven full days away from home is all it takes to experience the benefits of Wilderness LT.
While the Wilderness LT excursions are designed with the individual’s personal relationship with Christ in mind they also serve to bond together leadership teams, father and son relationships, and leaders from various churches. As a result the excursions will also serve to deepen intimacy and bring greater unity to families, churches, and the greater body of Christ.
Previous camping experience is not a prerequisite in order to participate in an excursion. Pre-excursion training is thorough as it relates to the spiritual, physical, emotional, and logistical aspects of the excursion.
The amount and type of equipment, clothing, and food is set by Wilderness LT. This is an important part of the overall strategy of the program that insures the best possible outcome for the participants of Wilderness LT.
