Eight weeks in Destin, Florida. Students work a full-time job, live together with peers from across the West, and spend ~20 hours a week being trained as disciple-makers.
Kaleo is the most concentrated thing we do. From May 25 through July 22, ~100 students from across the western US — Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming — move to Destin, Florida together. They work 35–40 hour jobs at restaurants, retail, and resorts. They live in the same hotel. And every day, they're being trained as disciple-makers.
The combination is what makes it work. Real jobs build character and time-management. Real community is forged in shared living. Real training equips students to make disciples back home. Lasting life-change and disciple-makers are the fruit of Kaleo — students leave Florida ready to do everything we ask of them on campus, because they've spent two months doing exactly that.
Every week follows a rhythm of work, worship, and training. Here's what students do beyond their 40-hour job:
Over the eight weeks, Kaleo hosts three two-night conferences on the topics college students are wrestling with most:
What principles does the Bible have for dating? How can you make the most of singleness? How can God shape an amazing marriage someday?
How can I have an impact in college? What does it look like to be a disciple and make disciples? This is the heartbeat conference.
What is God's plan for the world? How can I play a role in it? Led by missions experts who have lived it.
