Veritas Life Adventures provides youth with an unconventional, holistic experience that rejuvenates and reawakens the mystery and joy that comes from seeing and experiencing God.

This will be accomplished through a program that does the following:

Teaches, develops, and strengthens habits and practices of physical conditioning through varied outdoor activities such as hiking, team sports, yoga, rock climbing, etc.

Educates and develops a balanced nutritional lifestyle focusing on portion size, essential vitamins and minerals, and all-­‐natural buying and food preparation.

Develops, encourages, and rejuvenates the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional states of participants, while guiding their search for truth.
