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.
