Come join us for whitewater rafting, hiking, rock climbing, kayaking/canoeing, or camping! We teach you how to properly and safely do each activity. No outdoor experience is required, and we provide all of the equipment. Our mission is to help students grow in character, leadership, and ultimately in relationship with themselves, others, and God. Our method is experiential learning and many of our
concepts can be adapted for any venue indoors or out. Yet typically with Lifelines the outdoors is our passion and our classroom. In short, we take people on adventures like rock climbing, snowshoeing or whitewater rafting—not just for adventure sake, but also to help challenge how they think about themselves, others and God. Our programs encourage participants to take physical, emotional and relational risks, placing them in a position to grow. Don't know God, but still want to come on a trip? No worries. The environment on a Lifelines trip is very open and non-judgmental. We want to know what you think! Lifelines is part of the interdenominational Christian ministry called Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ), which has a presence on more than 1,100 campuses in the United States. Lifelines started in 1999 at the University of Maine. Now with more than 15 years of experience, Lifelines has a rapidly growing team of more than 25 full-time guides, a proven outdoor curriculum, and locations in four different regions of the US. Our main audience is college students, though we also take high school students and faculty on trips. Send us a message if you'd like to come on a trip, join our team, or volunteer with us.
