Backpack Expedition 10/11/12: Isle Royale
July 19 – August 1, 2015
After spending a couple days at camp in preparation, traveling by van, camping along the way, crossing Lake Superior by ferry, hiking eight days (6-10 miles per day), sharing faith journeys, and growing deeper in faith, this group of trippers will share a bond that is truly unique. Learn and master camping skills together, filter cold drinking water from Lake Superior, cook delicious meals on a camp stove, master campsite set up and map reading, and learn the natural history of Lake Superior and Isle Royale. The trip is physically rigorous, but certainly accessible to those who are ready for a challenge, as participants carry significant loads while traversing a rugged, wild landscape. Exploring this wilderness island of moose and wolves as a group is well worth it. This 2-week trip rotates location each summer, allowing participants to always have a new wilderness to explore.
