STLF Gap Camp
In the end, 20 recently graduated high school students, weeks away from starting new chapters in their lives, traveled to western Wisconsin. Some drove an hour, others flew 2,000 miles. Some marked the dates in their calendars a year earlier, others decided to participate just hours before the camp's start.

The Big Lift!
One month ago, 36 students departed on an eight day adventure to travel and serve in six cities across their country in eight days. These students were from Sydney, those six cities were in Australia, and it wasn't an STLF program at all, but it was a brand new program called The Big Lift!
