Trip Details .::. Life of Adventure
What is Life of Adventure
Life of Adventure, simply put, is a vision that I believe
God gave me (Jeremy) in the summer of 1997 when I was "searching
for myself" while hiking out in Glacier National Park,
Montana. So, first and foremost, I believe that Life of Adventure
is really a God thing. I truly believe that God is inviting,
calling, and challenging everyone of us to enter into a deeper
relationship with Himself which truly is a Life of Adventure!
More specifically, Life of Adventure is an awesome opportunity
for high school students to explore, traverse, and dive into
some of God's most beautiful creation in the summer. Each
trip will be lead by at least two adult leaders.
Throughout the journey together, we will be experiencing backcountry
hiking and camping, day hikes, daily devotionals, personal
and group sharing, learning how to share your faith, how to
effectively read and study the Bible, leadership training,
and much much more.
Who Can Go
Life of Adventure is a trip for high school students who really have a desire to live life to its fullest. That's it! You don't have to have been a Christian for a certain amount of years or have read the Bible cover to cover. Really, the only requirements are that you are a high school student (or just graduated), and that you desire to grow, learn and be challenged!

The Daily Itinerary:
The mornings will consist of eating breakfast and time in God's word. The afternoons will consist of lunch, day hikes, and free time. The evenings will consist of campfires, devotionals, roasting marshmallows, and enjoying the incredible beauty of God's creation. The coed trips are designed for the beginner/intermediate hiker and backpacker. The all guy's trips are designed for the intermediate/advanced hiker or those who are beginning but don't mind being pushed physically. Both trips consist mainly of camping in the frontcountry and going on day hikes; however, both trips will spend at least 1 night in the backcountry.
Frontcountry
This is what most people consider "camping". Camping in the frontcountry is typically done at well establisehd campsites that have bathrooms close by, running water, etc.
Backcountry
This is what real "camping" is all about. Camping in the backcountry consists of packing all of your food, supplies, and equipment into the overnight packs of those going into the backcountry and heading off on foot.
