What Others are Saying About Us

• “Being on the trail created raw space... in me and the girls that I guided like nothing else has....  The climb doesn't just teach you, it changes you and makes you into more; it forces you to move.  I was honored to watch transformation not only in myself, but also within the lives of dozens of teenagers.”

  “One of my favorite things about the trail is the community it brings.  Defenses come down.  Barriers are breached.  Authentic relationship is possible.  Once you get a taste of that, reality changes.  Your expectations are higher.  Desire comes alive.  In this post-modern culture, often marked by isolation and loneliness, the community formed on a backpacking trip meets the core hunger of both teens and adults today.”
