This wilderness adventure 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.

I learned new ways to praise God and appreciate his creation.” The week-long adventure is centered on a 3-5 day backpacking experience led by two awesome guides! Whether you are a first time backpacker or an experienced mountaineer, the friendships you make this week will make this an adventure you’ll never forget.
