Support Lasting Transformation in Today’s Youth – Donate to Lucky Sevan Foundation
The Lucky Sevan Foundation (also known as L7) is a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering teenagers to overcome life’s challenges and grow into confident, grounded, and resilient individuals. Using the beach and the surfing experience as an inspiring backdrop, L7 runs immersive leadership retreats where young people learn crucial life skills in a supportive, inclusive, and spiritually enriching environment.
Unlike traditional youth programs, L7’s retreats go beyond recreation and entertaining teens – they help teens become:
- Build resilience by facing challenges outside their comfort zones.
- Develop meaningful connections with peers and mentors in a natural setting that fosters openness and trust.
- Strengthen mental and emotional well-being through devotionals, guided workshops, yoga, meditation, and team-building activities.
- Explore personal identity and purpose in ways that result in lasting confidence and commitment to positive choices.
The ocean isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a powerful catalyst for healing and reflection, helping young people connect with themselves and each other in ways that traditional classrooms or counseling settings often cannot.
This is more than surfing. This is a transformation.
Testimonials
“This is a wonderful organization! My son went last year as a mentor leader and said it was the best thing he has ever done with the exception of a religious mission he served in Spain. If you’ve got a teenage girl or boy, you must send them to this camp. Check it out people!”
“Like Peter of old, life has limitless opportunities if one steps out of one’s comfort zone and onto the water. This begins with meekness, humility and trust. We as individuals must rely on the group to support, sustain and literally save us. Trust in its mentors and trust in its fellow brothers and sisters enables life changing experiences – even miracles to take place. Humility and trust will ultimately lead us to the most important and powerful trust of all – that of trusting in, and receiving from the Savior, Jesus Christ.”
“Over the past several years, we have been so fortunate to have our two oldest boys attend the Lucky Sevan surf camp. They have attended other church, sport and scout camps in the past, but nothing has come close to the experience they had while at surf camp. In fact it’s what sealed the deal for one of our boys to serve a mission for our church. Evan and his staff do an amazing job of getting to know each camper and their specific needs on a very personal and intimate basis. Evan and his team truly care about the welfare of the youth and will tailor the program to meet their individual needs. We are confident that if your child attends this camp with the right spirit and purpose, they will come back more deeply connected to the Savior and His teachings in a way that no other experience has. There is something about being in the ocean with all of its physical demands that fosters an intense spiritual growth.”
