Christian backpacking ministry in the mountains near Troutdale that uses hiking as its primary tool for youth ministry. Summer Events are 8-day backpacking hikes for youth ages 12 to 18 along the Appalachian Trail, beginning and ending at the organization's 60-plus acres, where hikers gather for meals, worship and fellowship at a lodge with rustic sleeping shelters and an outdoor chapel. No backpacking experience is required; the fee is about $375 per hiker.

Life changing experiences happen here. Would highly recommend to anyone.
I went Last Month And I Had A Blast! I'm Definitely Going Next Summer.
Both my kids have experienced WT over 3 summers now. They come back spiritually renewed and wanting more of being out outdoors with God. A parent cannot ask for anything more from the loving caring staff. Thank you!
Excellent service and amazing salad bar. I particularly enjoyed the view of the pond(s). 10/10 would stay again.
