Longridge Expeditions

July 4-16, 2010:  $475

A brand new Program for 2010!

In a world where email and text messaging dominate, students are given a chance to experience God and each other in a whole new way. Longridge Expeditions welcomes students 15 and older who are ready for a new and exciting adventure!  A two-week backpacking trip in the beautiful Appalachian mountains awaits.

Students are presented with  physical and spiritual challenges that face them on the trail ahead. They are able to push themselves and each other to a new level while working together as a body. They must daily navigate and work together with their staff guides to find their way.  Space is limited so reserve your place soon!

Giving students the opportunity to “get away from it all” in small groups will provide for incredible teambuilding and mentorship opportunities.

Program Schedule

The 12-day expedition will commence with 2 days on the Longridge Campus for training and teambuilding. This is a time for students to get to know each other and also begin training for the trip ahead. We will then take off for the mountains for an 8 day adventure.  The trip will conclude with the final two days back at Longridge.
