Join us this summer for our Survivor-inspired challenge series!

Twice this summer, on a Sunday afternoon, high school students from all grade levels and groups are invited to come together for games, challenges and competition.

With cool prizes up for grabs, it’s a chance to show off your skills and outwit, outplay, and outlast your opponents. But it’s not just about winning—it’s about building friendships, working as a team, and having fun!

For our incoming eight graders, it’s a great opportunity to meet new people and get acclimated with high school before the year even starts. And for our treasured seniors who are graduating, it’s a fun and memorable way to celebrate the end of a high school journey at Life West!

So, whether you’re a seasoned Survivor fan or just looking for a fun summer activity, come join us for the first day of adventure, competition, and community!
