In the beginning there was Camp. Then came Wilderness Trek.
If you liked summer camp, but are looking for a deeper, more intimate experience, then Wilderness Trek is for you.
We use adventure as a spiritual catalyst in order to help teens, young adults, and families grow into the people God calls them to be. We introduce People From All Walks of Life and Fitness Levels to the wonders of God’s creation in order to help them become lifelong followers of Jesus Christ. In terms of creature comforts and man-made features, we are The Opposite of Camp. In terms of getting close to God through the natural beauty and wonders of His creation, it’s An Experience With No Equal.

Group Treks
Group Treks are our 5-6 day backpacking adventures that we have offered since 1976. These Treks are perfect for help any group grow in community, faith and leadership. All Group Treks can be scheduled on any available week of the operating season. Ideal for youth groups, churches, families, scout troops, sports teams, colleges, or any group of friends looking for an exciting adventure they won’t soon forget.
Programs:
Individual Treks
Individual Treks are a way for individuals or smaller groups to experience one of our life-changing trips. These trips often focus on specific ages, life experiences, or life circumstances and give individuals, couples, families, and smaller groups an opportunity to meet like-minded people from all over the country and grow spiritually. Most trips are 12-15 people total and are made up of individuals or several smaller groups. While participants may all start as strangers, they end with lifelong friendships.
Example Programs:
- Father + Son
- Mother + Daughter
- Highschool Students
- Middle school Students
- Student Athletes
Faith based adventures since 1976.
