Youth Guys, go backpacking and whitewater rafting! We take care of all the logistics in order to lead you on an amazing backpacking trip. Your group will embark on wilderness adventures of rock climbing, rappelling, white water rafting, and of course backpacking. Backpacking trips are absolutely, hands down the favorite of guides at camp because of the unique opportunity to be isolated in the backcountry with a small group. Groups who backpack grow, develop community and connect with God in a really unique, distraction free way.
Explore God’s Creation
Take off with the guys on a backpacking trip into the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The backpacking adventure trips spend 4 days hiking and exploring in the high country just West of South Lake Tahoe. Youth will hike through beautiful river canyons, jump off of rocks into deep alpine lakes, and challenge themselves as we rock climb. There will be a chance to overcome your fears as we rappel down a 90 foot cliff. Then we top it all off with a day of whitewater rafting!
The group will get to explore God’s playground, and challenge themselves to grow in Christian faith and leadership skills. In addition, we’ve set aside quiet times, campfire devotionals and outdoor challenges. Furthermore, the group will get to learn some of the basics of outdoor adventuring as they set up base camp and learn principles of “leave no trace” We believe this camp experience is simply… Unbeatable!
