Hike through the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, raft the white water of the Arkansas River, take the leap of faith, or work on a service project. Compass Points, the wilderness adventure program at Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp, offers you the opportunity to do all of this in a supportive Christian environment that will challenge you to try new things and grow in your own faith journey. Gina said this about her trip, “I saw Christ in the people around me, it inspired and renewed my spirit. I learned new ways to praise God and appreciate his creation.” Each week-long adventure is centered on a 3-5 day wilderness backpacking experience led by trained guides and is tailored to make the journey your own. Whether you are an individual or a group, adult or youth, there’s a trip that is right for you.
All Compass Points trips begin Sunday afternoons at the Rainbow Trail’s main site location. Compass Points Guides will greet you and help you get settled in before assisting each member of your group with preparations and packing for the trip. After a week of adventure that you have been involved in planning, we will conclude the week with a BBQ rib dinner and worship on Friday evening. Most groups depart early on Saturday morning for the drive home.
