Join Us On A Mountain Adventure!
Women's Trip: July 15-20
Men's Trip: August 1-6
Join us for an adventure in the Colorado mountains! Both retreats will be held at AEI Base Camp in Almont, CO. You'll be staying in cabins and tents and hiking, climbing, backpacking, camping and connecting in the great outdoors on the Continental Divide. (All camping gear is provided...you will only need some good hiking shoes/socks, a daypack and a water bladder or two 1 litre water bottles. More details below under FAQs.)
Equipped with a reflection guide and led by a team of Heartlanders and AEI wilderness guides, you will have opportunity to unplug from the pace of every day life and connect with Jesus, yourself and one another as we explore together. A series of backpacking training hikes will be offered May through August.
FAQ's
We are going on an incredible trip to AEI Base Camp, a team we have worked with since 2014. The guides at AEI host us in hand-hewn cabins at 10,000' elevation below the Continental Divide. In turn, they create and lead us through activities designed to encounter the glory of the Colorado mountains and the incredible creativity and love of Jesus. Our adventures are July 15-20 (women's retreat) or August 1 - 6 (men's retreat). Here are some questions you may have!
