Wilderness Adventures

Picture this: your group stands on the edge of a cliff, gazing over a breathtaking valley. One by one, they face their fears, discover inner strength, and build emotional resilience. As the day unfolds, you watch a quiet student step into a leadership role, encouraging their peers to rise to the challenge. That evening, under the glow of the campfire, they relive the day’s triumphs, sharing stories of courage and reflecting on the deeper lessons they’ve uncovered. And this is just one unforgettable day of your Wilderness Adventure trip.

This fully customizable program lets you choose from up to six outdoor adventure activities designed to challenge, inspire, and bring your group closer together. Each day is packed with opportunities for growth through exciting adventures, meaningful devotions, intentional debriefs, and heartfelt worship.

As part of the journey, your group will participate in a creation care service project that connects the trip’s theme to their adventure experience. This unique opportunity not only gives back to the environment but also deepens the lessons learned, offering a fresh perspective on stewardship and faith.

You will collaborate with your trip manager to craft an unforgettable adventure tailored to your group’s needs and goals—one that transforms lives, strengthens connections, and glorifies God in the process.

    • Spiritual Growth: Encountering God through nature and deepening faith in Christ.

    • Community Building: Creating Christ-centered communities where individuals support one another.

    • Personal Development: Building confidence and resilience through challenging outdoor activities.

    • Environmental Stewardship: Encouraging care and respect for God’s creation.

    Each option provides a unique way to experience the Wilderness Adventure program, ensuring your group is comfortable yet challenged and ready to grow together.

  • Sharing meals is a central theme in Scripture, often used by Jesus to build relationships and foster community. At AdventureServe Ministries, we see meals not just as nourishment but as an intentional act of hospitality and service.

    Unlike many camps and mission organizations, we take a hands-on approach to food preparation. Instead of providing a kitchen staff, we offer your group the unique opportunity to prepare simple meals together. This experience reinforces a heart for serving others, builds teamwork, and equips participants with valuable life skills that extend beyond the trip.

    What’s Included
    AdventureServe Ministries supplies all the provisions needed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout your trip. We ensure that meals are simple, nutritious, and easy to prepare, so your group can focus on the joy of sharing and serving.

    Dietary Needs? We’ve Got You Covered
    We are committed to hospitality, which includes accommodating dietary restrictions or preferences. If any member of your group has specific dietary needs, we’ll work closely with them—or their guardians—to provide suitable alternatives, ensuring everyone feels cared for and included.

    Through preparing and sharing meals, your group will experience the biblical value of hospitality in a meaningful way, deepening connections with each other and God.

  • Wilderness Adventure Trips start at just $80 per person per day, offering an incredible value for a life-changing experience.

    Because every trip is customized to your group’s unique goals and activities, final costs may vary based on the options you and your trip manager select. Let’s create the perfect adventure together!
