In the beginning there was Camp.
Then came Wilderness Trek.
If you loved the whole summer camp experience but are ready to amp it up and reach for a higher level, then Wilderness Trek is for you.
We offer an Advanced Level Camping Experience filled with back country adventures, extended expeditions or pro-level programs all designed to introduce People From All Walks of Life and Fitness Levels to the wonders of the wilderness in ways that are as close to the way God created them as one can get. 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 creations, it’s An Experience With No Equal.
