The Last Word

Each summer, after Laity Lodge Youth Camp closes shop, a tight-knit group of college-aged staff members attend LLYC Outbound, a capstone trip to the Colorado Rockies. On August 6–10, 13 friends backpacked on remote trails, deepened friendships, shared deep faith conversations sitting by the campfire at night, and sipped hot coffee on cold mornings.
