Wilderness Trail Informed Consent - MUST FILL OUT (one per child & adult hiking)
The program is geared for all levels of backpacking experience from a never before hiker, to a 5th summer return hiker. All equipment is provided by well informed staff including your backpack, tent, and meals. The backpacking journey is one of the most formative experiences for our youth and digs deep into leaning on each other and God in times of need.
