Second Wind is a two-week, summer leadership program offered to students having completed 9th grade. Second Wind is about building character. It is designed to give young people an understanding of God's values through the process of “practical application.” Application is the most important element in the understanding of any truth, principle, or skill. Throughout the two-week experience, students are placed into real-life situations in order to test and apply the things they hear. Students return home with learned principles, rather than just “more inspiration.”

Leadership: The counselors at Second Wind share a deep love for the Lord and are committed to bringing about the maturing and training of God’s people. Because we feel our program is unique and challenging, we have a limited enrollment policy. Each student is placed on a team, with staff leaders assigned to each group. These small groups give leaders more counseling opportunities that maximize the growth experience.

Second Wind is not beyond the reach of anyone. Because students are at different points in their personal development, it is our policy to allow each participant to invest at his or her own level. The only requirement for acceptance is that each person has a desire to grow and a willingness to give one’s personal best.
