On June 10th Campus Life had the opportunity to embark on a thrilling 4-day White-Water Rafting and Rock Climbing excursion! The trip began with our group of 22 students and volunteers taking on the fierce Menominee and Wolf rivers in the woods of northern Wisconsin. Each had their own surprises that left many students floating alongside their raft! The two days of white-water rafting was then followed by a day of climbing the rocks at Devil’s Lake. The views were amazing with many students commenting on how the time spent out in the wilderness was a refreshing break from the constant concrete found back home.

Throughout the trip, the group discussed the different false messages that today’s media and culture portray to us on a daily basis such as “Life is what you make it” and “You are not special.” Tom Sanderson did a great job introducing the topic each night so that the different small groups could discuss the implications each one has on our lives.

We thank Expeditions Unlimited and Steve Higgins (the man with the one eye!) for leading our trip and allowing us to have an amazing time! If you didn’t get a chance to go this year, make sure to look out for any upcoming trips and for next year’s white-water rafting extravaganza!
