Wilderness Trips - Weekend and Extended

Are you looking for time away from your normal routine? Would you like to have a new experience for your group, a unique environment for learning and growing together in authentic community, an opportunity to share, to build each other up, and in the process strengthen your group?

BENCHMARK Adventure Ministries offers a variety of wilderness experiences planned to provide a unique learning
environment for personal growth, leadership development
and discipleship.

 
 
All BENCHMARK wilderness experiences provide participants, in groups of 6-12, an opportunity to develop skills in making wise decisions and habits for the deeper Christian life. Our wilderness trips allow participants and instructors to live life together, to solve problems and explore what it means to live in community around the Word of God. These trips can foster communication and group cohesion through the shared experience, which can deepen relationships. The components of our trips are designed to develop endurance, curiosity, and compassion. Our objective is to enhance leadership, servanthood, and character in the lives of the participants.

Other ministries, churches, associations, or camps can partner with BENCHMARK to expand their own ministry offerings. BENCHMARK specializes in wilderness experiences that can be customized to meet the needs of almost any group, almost anywhere. These trips can range from a weekend to a week or longer. We can plan a short entry- level trip or a trip that will take you to a whole different level of intensity, difficulty and possibility.

Experience has taken BENCHMARK’s senior wilderness instructor to Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin. Trips can also be planned in areas closer to your location.

“Don’t think that you are too inexperienced or too “urban” to participate, and to benefit greatly from a Benchmark ministry. What you don’t know but will grow to understand is that being outdoors and active makes you more alive. And being more alive allows you to understand the Word in a way that you will never have experienced it before.”
