WHAT IS KALEO?
Kaleo is StuMo’s 9-week summer program in Gulf Shores, AL with students from KU, K-State, Mizzou and Northwest Missouri State designed to help students grow in their faith, provide leadership opportunities and character development!
HERE’S WHAT KU STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT KALEO
“Kaleo is an amazing opportunity for young adults to be grown in their character, leadership, and faith. At Kaleo I got to build deep meaningful relationships with men and women from different college campuses all while working a full-time job and attending trainings. Kaleo created the perfect environment that helped me apply what I was learning to my everyday life and gave me practical ways to do it. I’m so grateful I got to go and I can’t wait to be back there this summer!”
Sammy Rebeck - Sigma Nu
“One of the most impactful things for me was beginning to really build the foundation of habits that will help me grow in my faith for a lifetime. It was really helpful to even have a (leader/mentor/spiritual leader) model those and help me along in my development as a person and in my faith. Another huge impact Kaleo had on my life was starting to see God’s vision for my life and how he wants to use me to impact others for Him.”
Ashton Davis - Senior
“Kaleo has had a huge impact on my life and growth as a spiritual leader. For the first time, I learned how to diligently and practically walk with God on a daily basis. As an athlete, I have always had to be disciplined in order to succeed in my sport, but that summer, I was able to learn how to live a disciplined lifestyle, not just for my own gain, but for Christ - something so much more impactful than just myself. I also learned leadership skills that I was able to bring back and instantly implement into my relationships with my teammates. These skills have only brought me closer to them, while also giving me a deeper purpose for those friendships!”
Rylan Childers - KU Soccer Team
“Kaleo has been one of the most impactful experiences for me in my whole college career! It equipped me with practical tools to learn how to grow in my faith while also managing a busy schedule, which helped me continue growing back on campus. I met some of my closest friends at Kaleo, friends I know I’ll have for the rest of my life. Outside of working a full-time job and attending trainings, we also just get to have an absolute blast exploring Gulf Shores and making fun memories!”
