Summer Stories

Hear from Those Who Lived It

Journey of Hope and Gear Up aren’t typical summer programs. They’re early mornings, long days and moments that stay with you long after the summer ends.

The men who take on this challenge come back with more than stories. They come back with perspective, purpose and a clearer sense of what they’re capable of.

They’ll tell you about the friendships that formed fast and lasted. About the people they met along the way who changed how they see the world. About the days that pushed them and the moments that made it all worth it.

This is what the summer actually looks like, from the people who experienced it firsthand.
