APPLY for LIFT!

Click here to download a LIFT application - and send it in to us at LIFT, CAMP-of-the-WOODS, PO Box 250, Speculator, NY 12164. You may also fax it to us at 518-548-2719. If you would like to be mailed an application, contact us and we would be happy to send one along.

We are currently accepting applications for LIFT 20, the Fall 2008 term. The semester dates are September 8 - December 18, 2008. The application deadline is May 31, 2008. We process applications in the order they are received, so earlier applicants have a better chance of acceptance than later ones.

When applying, please also provide us with the names and phone numbers of two references that we can contact: 1) an employer or professor and 2) a spiritual mentor or advisor (pastor, small group leader, etc). Make sure you let them know you have put them down as references so they will be expecting a call.

Once you've applied, you can expect a phone call within about a week of when we receive your application. At that time, we will set up a phone interview with you, if we feel you have the potential to be a good LIFT student. After your phone interview, we will contact your references and then call you with our decision, usually within two weeks of the phone interview. You are then given a length of time (usually about a month) to decide whether or not you will commit to participating in LIFT, and you will mail us a signed "Letter of Intent" stating your decision.
