Are You Ready to Inspire Your Youth Group, Family or Team Like Never Before?
Imagine your group trekking through breathtaking landscapes, surrounded by mountains, rivers, and skies painted by God Himself. Together, they’ll face challenges, build teamwork, and grow stronger in faith and friendship. Our guided trips are crafted to inspire, making room for reflection, worship, and deeper discussions.
Inspire and grow your group this summer as they step away from screens, schedules, and distractions, and dive deep into the stillness and awe-inspiring beauty of God’s creation. This isn’t just any adventure—it’s a spiritual journey where they will connect with God, others, and themselves on a whole new level.
We handle the gear, the meals, the permits, the devotionals… everything. And, our goal is that you, as a youth or group leader, can also unplug and make room for renewal of mind, strength, and soul. (Of course, if you have your own curriculum or want your group to lead devotionals, that’s ok too!)
“…He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.” Ps 23:2-3 NLT
Backpacking
Southern rockies

Avoid the crowds and long drive to Colorado by bringing your group to Northern New Mexico. 12,000ft+ peaks, pristine lakes, and solitude for miles are waiting for you in the nation’s second-oldest national forest area, the Pecos Wilderness. See the area that famed trapper Kit Carson called home while traveling through several ecosystems to isolated alpine summits you will not soon forget. New Mexico is a perfect place for outdoor recreation and to avoid the crowds of Colorado!

“I had the privilege of participating in one of your Colorado backpacking trips in the summer of 1996, and it remains one of my most treasured experiences. The memories made during that trip, especially alongside my dad, are something we often reflect on fondly. It was such a meaningful adventure for both of us, and we regularly reminisce about the amazing and hilarious time we spent on the trail together.
Thank you for organizing such life-changing experiences. The memories we made have lasted a lifetime, and I deeply appreciate it.”

What they said this summer . . .
It was really cool because I was able to hangout on a deeper level with my friends.
I’m 53yrs old. I came along on this Trek, as I did on the last one, to see my son become the man that he is becoming in age and faith. I received and witnessed so much more in him and myself and in the rest of the group. I feel very blessed to have been a part of it all. Look forward to the next trip. Your organization is truly amazing to provide such an experience for all. Thank you.
We heard more words from some of our students over these 4 days than we did the entire year.
I felt less anxious without the barrage of emails, texts, posts, etc., it was much easier to be in the moment rather than focused on responding and meeting the demands of others’ on my time.
Clarity was accomplished by unplugging to the world and continuously reading the word while being challenged… He reminded me just to be.
It was amazing. Solo time on the rest day was the best way for me to connect with God more.
