The summer is full-time, from one backpacking trip to another, each with different groups at different ages, from middle school to university to entire families! This extended time spent together in the wilderness is one of the most impactful and transformational times. Phones are left behind, and people are invited to a time of connection with God and each other, away from all distractions and comforts behind which we are used to hiding.
Students spend from 6 - 12 days filled with trekking through the mountains, sleeping under the stars, singing around the campfire, prayer, deep + meaningful connection, teachings about the Lord's nature, His desire for us, and how He created us. Through time of prayer, solitude, connection with God, connection with each other, and overcoming intense physical challenges, and ultimately through the work of the Holy Spirit, students experience deep healing and spiritual transformation.
The funding budgeted is to meet food and transportation costs, as well as insurance and gear needed. Any excess money raised, I will put towards funding students who desire to come on backpacking trips, but do not have the financial flexibility.
