October 2 – 5, a team of 4 will #hikethechuck – a rigorous 41+ miles in the Great Smoky Mountains backcountry – all in just 3 days. For the 31st year, this hike means taking a few days to step out of normal life and into creation and whatever weather and challenges come their way.

Our Mission is to stimulate significant life change toward wholeness in Christ through interactive experiences and outdoor adventures.
“There is importance with communicating and talking and listening and sharing stories and being in community. This reminded me that being by myself is not the only way to feel reconnected or re-centered. I need time spent with others.”
“They create a space to refocus with no distractions from life. It helped me to heal.”
“I learned that we are put in a certain place at a certain time where God needs us to be. That being said the challenges that come along with this placement are gifts from God for our development.”
“I learned how to figure out taking responsibility in the areas of my life that I am lacking and need to take action.”
“Taking a moment to reflect and slow down and take a moment to treasure the experiences you have.”
