This year the Junior High Wilderness Week will not be traveling far, but we will be going all in on outdoor adventure! We’re heading to the Hocking Hills area of Ohio. Ohio? Yep, Ohio, for camping, day-hikes, canoeing/kayaking, biking, and perhaps rappelling for an extra kick! We’ll enjoy the outdoors, but we’ll focus on God’s word and God’s love. We hope to see you this summer!
More Details for Campers & Parents will be emailed 2-3 weeks before the trip.
