L+ DISCOVERY INITIATIVE

An Adventure in Lifelong Learning for Christian Adults

L+: A Lifetime of Learning

The L+ Discovery Initiative is an experiential educational program purposefully designed to stimulate active Christian adults intellectually, socially, physically, and spiritually. An enjoyable getaway to a beautiful place in the company of some wonderful friends, L+ is an inspiring pathway to an enriched life through learning. Camp Lebanon’s commitment to a Biblical worldview makes L+ unique among educational opportunities for life-long learners. Program hallmarks include highly qualified instructors, delicious cuisine, comfortable accommodations, and rich fellowship.

The four-day conference is focused on subject matter selected for its broad appeal. Our expert instructors share stimulating information through in-depth lectures, field trips, and hands-on-participation. Lively discussions with the faculty and fellow participants will illuminate issues, broaden horizons, and refresh each person's walk with Christ.

I hoped that L+ would include a great learning experience, sweet fellowship, and time spent at a beautiful place of God's creation. L+ was everything and more than I hoped for. The accomodations and fine dining completed the picture of a very worth-while adventure. Looking forward to the next L+!

The L+ Experience

Multiple-day events are centered around subject matter designed to have broad appeal. Courses ranging from history and the arts to religion, politics and environmental studies are supplemented by engaging Seminars geared for the enrichment of daily life. Our expert instructors share stimulating information through in-depth lectures, field trips, and hands-on participation. Lively discussions with faculty and fellow participants will illuminate issues and broaden horizons, all within the context of a biblical, Christian worldview. And by every day’s end, each person will find their walk with Christ refreshed …. through the exchange of ideas about the world He created, the sweet spirit of fellowship, and the satisfaction of a life infused with new challenges.

My wife Susie and I had a great time at this year's conference. We learned a great deal about CS Lewis the man and we both found it intriguing. We've started to reread Lewis's books and with the new background info it's like meeting an old friend.

The L+ Setting

The host site for L+ events is Camp Lebanon, a year-round Christian retreat center that has operated quality programs and facilities for all ages since 1947. An easy drive from major metro areas in MN and surrounding states, Camp Lebanon boasts a quietly beautiful lakeside setting, wonderful food prepared from scratch by the camp chef, comfortable adult-friendly accommodations (most are hotel-style with private baths, linens and daily housekeeping), and a wide variety of outdoor and indoor recreational options. The eager staff and hosts will take care of all the details so you can enjoy your program.

Wonderful topics, setting, and staff! And what a chef! The TOTAL experience was awesome!

The L+ Value

Unlike tourist travel, the L+ program is all-inclusive. In addition to accommodations, all meals, lectures, field trips, recreation, gratuities and excess medical insurance coverage are included in the price. Participants are required to provide their own transportation to the program site, but once there, all costs are covered. There are no hidden costs. We provide a high quality experience with a high level of service at a superior value. In fact, we guarantee your satisfaction! In addition, a limited number of need-based scholarships are available. Please call for more information.

L+ was an amazing value!
