Our inaugural Wilderness Camp promises to be an incredible time for campers! Those in this program will have the opportunity to experience a pristine wilderness setting in Michigan's Upper Peninsula through the venues of backpacking, canoeing, and portaging. While disconnected from society without the normal modern conveniences, you will be in an environment to learn navigational, survival, and leadership skills from our qualified instructor. The entire experience will prove to be physically challenging, but also spiritually encouraging as time is allotted each day for the Bible study to be integrated into the wilderness experience.
