Tyler Olson
My summer was really quite fantastic here at Luther Point. I learned about perseverance, inner strength, and leadership. Most notably was our staff scouting trip which ended up being quite a doozie. On most trips we are 99% prepared but somehow because it was just staff we relaxed and forgot a bunch of stuff...such as sunscreen and bread for our sandwiches. If you know about spending a week on the river, you know that this can make the trip very difficult. However, out of some wonderful circumstances, praise God, we managed to eat plenty and protect our skin from the sun. Yet this wasn’t even the most challenging part- the rapids on the Flambeau River were nuts!!! The waves were three feet high and it was very intimidating, but we said a quick prayer and paddled onward. God gave us the strength to handle the rapids and found that our faith can always lead us through our fears.
