Discipleship Plunge is a wilderness experience for college-age young adults that is sponsored by Tentmakers, an inter-denominational leadership training ministry. The purpose of Discipleship Plunge is to help you become a stronger disciple of Christ and prepare you to be a more effective witness on your college campus or in your workplace.

"One winter break during college I spent a week at Discipleship Plunge at Wilderness North. We stayed in cabins and it was very remote so it was great for skiing, relaxing, and listening to God. It was different from other camps I'd been to because everyone was there to learn about how to better follow Christ, not just because their friends were going, etc. I remember learning some really practical stuff about how to structure a conversation when getting to know someone, and how to share Christ through friendship. We also spent time seeking God's direction for our lives and thinking about what our short term priorities and goals should be, which is very important but hard to focus on in everyday life. So it was good to get away and encouraging to be surrounded by believers who were serious about their faith in God.
