No, our trips are designed for you to show up as you are. We take care of all of the gear and equipment as well as teach you everything you need to be successful while on trail.

We don’t require a certain level of fitness for our trips. We do require a signed document from a medical professional certifying you are healthy enough to spend 5 days in the mountains. We encourage you to be physically active and prepare for your trip how you see fit.

Each trip is unique in its own way, from length, terrain, weather, etc. but we do know this… you can do it! It may be challenging, but we have seen hundreds of people push through the hardship and discomfort and experience the joy of personal triumph.

Absolutely! Just be sure to let us know about them.

Yes! Volunteers are a huge blessing to our ministry. We can accept some volunteers around our base camp helping with things like cooking, cleaning, maintenance projects, and office administration. Every volunteer must pass a background check and go through a Child protection and abuse awareness training. Unfortunately we cannot let volunteers go on trail with groups or lead any activity that requires certifications or training such as rock climbing.

We provide a journal that each participant will receive upon arrival for their trip that discusses spiritual themes related to identity, belonging, and purpose. Each day you will have a time to yourself devoted to going through the journal and our guides lead a devotional each night around the campfire.

Reservations are made on a per Trail Group basis. The minimum Trail Group size is 6 and the maximum is 13. For families the minimum number is 4 and the maximum is 13. Groups larger than 13 will be broken up into two or more groups. These numbers include group leaders/adult sponsors.

At the moment we are currently only running trips during the summer months of June-August. If you are interested in a trip outside of those months, please reach out to us on a case-by-case basis. 

No, many of the people that join us on our trips are first timers. Each group works together to make the trip successful and help each other out along the way. It’s one of the best aspects of Trek. Trek is a team effort!

We offer 4-6 day adventures. Each trip arrives at basecamp on a Sunday afternoon at 3pm and leaves for trail Monday. Trips will conclude on either Thursday, Friday, or Saturday depending on length.

Individuals can sometimes be accommodated to join already existing groups on a case by case basis.

We accept all major credit cards, ACH, and Checks.
