Christian Backpacking Camps
The Backpacker Paluza
Explore God’s Creation
Take off with your youth group on a backpacking trip into the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Each of our backpacking trips spend 4 days hiking and exploring God’s amazing creation as we hike through beautiful river canyons, jump off of rocks into deep pools of water blow, challenge ourselves as we rock climb, and overcome our fears as we rappel down a 90 foot cliff. Then we top it all off a day of white water rafting!
While out in the backcountry, we’ll explore God’s playground, and challenge ourselves to grow in our Christian faith through quiet times, campfire devotionals, outdoor rock climbing climbing, waterslides, and rappelling off of a 90ft. cliff. We believe this trip is simply… Unbeatable!
We take care of the details
Backpacking with a youth group in God’s creation is an amazing ministry opportunity, but it can also be a logistical headache. At Rock-N-Water we will take care of all those planning and implementation details so that you can focus on the things that matter most, developing positive relationships with your students, and helping direct them to grow in their Christian journey.
We provide all the backpacking related gear that your students might not have (including backpacking backpacks1, tents, cooking equipment, rock climbing gear…), so that preparing for a backpacking trip is as simple as preparing to take your kids to any normal summer camp.
Fully Customizable
As with all of our trips, you can customize our backpacking camps to best fit the needs of your group and the goals you hope to accomplish during your adventure. To that end, you can modify your backpacking summer camp to end with an exciting day of Class III California River Rafting or a more advanced day of Class IV California Rafting. Our camp program can also have you ending your trip with a day of Class III Inflatable Kayak Trips if your group is up for the challenge..
Campfire programing at night and morning devotionals can be lead by our camp counselors, or by your staff, or a combination of the two with not additional cost. Out goal is to provide you with the best possible adventures programming. Note: We limit backpacking trips to just one group per week, so dates disappear quickly.
