For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matt 6:19-24

This trip will be hiking approximately 30 miles of the challenging and beautiful Foothills Trail in North and South Carolina. Along this trail we will encounter scenic vistas and waterfalls around Lake Jocassee.

By escaping the clutter and busyness of everyday life we will learn how to create space and make room for God. During this trip we will use the wilderness to understand the difference between needs and wants and begin to grip the concept of living simply in order to live fully. By secluding ourselves in God’s awesome wilderness, we hope to learn through personal reflection, group initiatives and games, physical challenge, debriefs, community dinners, games, devotions, and worship the importance of community with others and living simply.

This is an all male adventure that is a combination backpacking and caving Spring Break trip.This trip will take place in the North West corner of Georgia amidst some of the largest caves inthe United States. Vertical drops up to 580 feet underground. Get excited to visit at least two of these large caves! In the midst of an all male community men can expect the difficulty of challenge, fun mental and physical tasks of caving, and also encounter the social and emotional challenge of building community through relationships and sharing.

In the “Man Cave” we will discuss the “squeezes” of life through a man’s eyes: asking for help, sharing thoughts, taking time to reflect, and dealing with fears. Based on assessed needs for new experiences, bonding, and challenge, we have combined these three to intersect through caving. Through this uncommon experience, we can promote bonding in the midst of both trials and tribulation. There are miles and miles of scenic trails, and in this all male community we will have the opportunity to experience God. The trails take you up and over the beautiful ridges of Pigeon Mountain. With mildly difficult terrain, this trip is a perfect match for skill levels ranging from novice to expert. So if you have never been backpacking or caving, or have been doing them for years…Get Excited!
