What to expect
- Time with Jesus.
- Depending on what group you choose, we backpack between 5-15+ miles.
- Slow down, disconnect from the world, and fellowship with men and with Jesus.
- Learn outdoor skills like – orienteering, firebuilding, staying warm, setting up tent/hammocks, filtering water, backcountry cooking, etc.
- On the daily – Wake up, get warm, eat breakfast, group/solo Bible time, hit the trail, enjoy the terrain, chat with buddys, eat lunch, hike, set up camp, eat dinner, group Bible time, stay warm, sleep, repeat.
- On the way home – thaw, shove our faces full of food, and get really excited to see your family!
