The Gap at Sawmill Meadow was, without a doubt, the best gap year experience for our daughter. In addition to all the fun adventures they experienced, they also learned about life and most importantly, the Lord.
Our daughter entered the gap as an insecure “new adult” unsure of her future, and emerged as a confident, self assured young woman with a deep, solid faith. During her time at The Gap, our daughter was surrounded by loving, positive role models who helped her navigate some very difficult life experiences. While in Colorado she learned valuable life skills such as living in community, embracing difficult conversations, meal planning, cooking, money management and even how to repair a window. The host couple, Rob and Terri, were great examples of living an authentic Christian life. They were supportive and kind and they have an uncanny ability to connect with young adults. They provided sound guidance, encouraged her faith walk and listened without judgment.
The speakers that Tammy and Matt brought to The Gap were amazing and relevant. The curriculum taught the kids to be intentional with every aspect of their lives. I highly recommend The Gap at Sawmill Meadow for the positive, life changing impact it had on the trajectory of our daughter’s life. I am forever grateful to all of the individuals who so selflessly gave of their time and their resources and poured into our daughter. Thank you just isn’t adequate. Send your kids here. You won’t regret it.
What would you improve about this program?
As a parent, I would like to extend it by a month. It was such a great experience. The participants had fun adventures and learned how to survive in the outdoors, something that my “city kid” didn’t have experience with before The Gap.
