BACKPACK NEAR THE TETONS
Join us on a rigorous backpacking trip in the mountains of North West Wyoming. We will push ourselves physically, spiritually and emotionally as we travel the wilderness together. Get ready for awesome sights, cooking meals over the fire, and times of quiet away from the noise of life to grow your faith in Jesus!
July 3-11
