WILDERNESS BACKPACKING

"Disconnect to Reconnect" is our theme and mantra on each of our WILDERNESS EXPEDITIONS! By design our treks are challenging! We take you to some of the most beautiful, natural sites in the World. We explore, learn and reconnect to all the things that matter most! 

Disconnect To Reconnect

You can do hard things!
Our trips are designed to be hard. When you leave iTs Wilderness Excursions we want you to have more confidence in yourself. This trip will be hard but you can do it...just like Life!

Day to Day Itinerary

Day 1
Meet the group and counselors near the Boulder Mountains at 10:00am. To begin the trip we will spend the first two hours getting to know each other, going over the safety procedures, and setting goals. We will then head to the trailhead. At the trailhead we will get geared up, put the sunscreen on get to know your llamas and then hit the trail. We will arrive at camp tired and ready to eat! After dinner there will be plenty of time for games, campfire stories, a fireside and journals. When you climb in your sleeping bag to end the day don’t forget to look up at some of the brightest stars you will ever see!

Day 2-5
Your alarm clock on day 2 will be the sun warming up your face. After you wake up and eat breakfast you will get to hear great devotionals from your counselors. Following devotionals you will find a secluded spot in the wilderness for scripture study, pondering, and prayer. We will then spend the days fishing, hiking, exploring side canyons, playing in the lakes, summiting peaks and looking for God through his creations and enjoying each other’s company. Each night the campsite will get prettier and more amazing. On our final night under the stars we will have a fireside and testimony meeting.

Why?
Teenagers have a lot of “mountains to climb” in their future. Missions, college, work, relationships, questions etc.. There will be times where they want to quit. It will be hard. We have intentionally designed this backpacking trip to be hard. Our hope is that as they carry their backpacks through Coyote Gulch they will begin to see and understand that they can do hard things without giving up! (Philippians 4:13)

Every tour will have a professional and trained director to keep the youth safe and also to lead the youth skillfully through the scriptures and the life lessons that are an important part of the Wilderness Experience.
