Living River is centrally located near many of our nation's civil rights historic landmarks and many unique and meaningful modern experiences for youth and adults to learn about equity and justice. 

“Staying at Living River and having one home base while visiting the Civill Rights landmarks in Alabama was really big for our students. They quickly felt at ease. Not having to pack up and move helped us maintain our level of comfortability with each other and was so helpful logistically.” -Nii Addo Abrahams Associate Pastor for Campus Ministry at Pres House in Madison, WI
