Each summer The Navigators Collegiate Ministries provide multiple intensive summer growth initiatives called a Summer Training Programs (STPs) in different regions of the country. The Upper Midwest Region of The Navigators offer the Dells STP. Students live, work, have fun, and learn with other college students from campuses in Wisconsin, Minnesota, & South Dakota for nine weeks in Wisconsin Dells, WI.
Each student works a full-time job during the day and participates in Bible studies, evangelistic outreaches, discipleship groups, ministry training, fellowship, and other activities during the week. These opportunities for fellowship, mentoring, guided experiences, and time in the Word create an ideal environment for students to grow in their relationship with Jesus as well as develop ministry skills and leadership qualities. Summer Training Programs are operated and overseen by experienced full-time Navigator staff.
