Purposes:

  • To develop an appreciation for God through seeing his handiwork in Creation (Romans 1:20)
  • To build bonds of Christian Fellowship (Hebrews 10:24-25)
  • To study and apply God’s Word 2 Timothy 2:15

The following is a recommended plan for a base-camp trip with an overnight backpacking option. We can transform it into a backpacking trip with little effort if all who want to attend prefer to go backpacking, or if the JHS leadership prefers to do so.

Equipment

Please try to borrow equipment if you do not have it. If you prefer to rent: Sports Chalet in Porter Ranch rents backpacks at a cost of $6.00 for the first day, plus $2.00 each for each addtional day. Please see the equipment list.
