Backpacking Adventure Trips (for rising 8th-12th graders, ages 13-18)
Ounce for ounce and day by day this journey is the best adventure we offer: a 6-day, 5-night backpacking trek. Backpacking is a dynamic group experience unequaled by any other program, and each day, mile and footstep reveals powerful life lessons along our journey. We’ll parallel our hike to the disciples’ discoveries during their journey with Jesus (read Luke 24:13-35). Each trip is suitable for beginners and great for returning campers who aspire for leadership. Our trip will range 30-50 miles through lush forest valleys and over spectacular mountain-top views. Join your experienced WFA-trained counselors for this extraordinary journey of discovery as we hike, camp, cook, share and grow together along the white blazes; and learn cool lifelong outdoor skills. Hammock and rain-fly required! A detailed gear guide will follow your sign up. If you need one, camp can provide a pack. Both trips are co-ed, and each trip hikes a different trail section. Rated moderate with several daily challenging moments; occasional difficult moments. Learn more about Why, How, and What we do during Summer Camps including a complete activities list.
Subsidized Fee (discounted cost) = $435; Supporters Fee (actual cost) = $485; Sustainers Fee (cost + $50 gift) = $535.
