Outpost: Rising 10th-12th
Week-long and 10-day adventure trips allow Outpost Senior High campers (rising 10th-12th grades) to hone their skills in specific activities: Backpacking, Rock Climbing, Whitewater Kayaking, or Canoeing. After 1-2 nights at the Frontier and Expedition Site, living groups set up tarp shelter camp sites for 3-night adventures on the trail, along the river, or at the rock face.
Pack and Paddle 10-Day Trip
This 10-day adventure focuses on kayaking and backpacking skills as campers journey together on some of the finest rivers and trails North Georgia has to offer.
Campers will begin their journey at Springer Mountain, backpacking for four days along the Benton MacKaye Trail to the Toccoa River Suspension Bridge. From there, the group trades backpacks for boats as they spend two full days paddling the Toccoa River.
Campers then rejoin the Benton MacKaye Trail, hiking and camping near Brawley Mountain for the remainder of the trip before returning to camp for checkout. This exciting and multi-faceted trip is sure to challenge and satisfy even the most ardent adventurers. For a glimpse of what the trip is like, here's the 2024 recap video (YouTube).
Cumberland Island 10-Day Trip
Cumberland Island campers start their adventure with a guided canoe tour through the Okefenokee Swamp before heading to Cumberland Island the following day. More than eighteen miles of undisturbed beaches, thirty miles of trails through pristine wilderness, and an array of diverse plants and wildlife await us on the island. There the group will spend the remainder of the trip hiking through the maritime forest, relaxing and playing at the beach, visiting some of the island’s historical landmarks, and practicing their newly developed outdoor skills together. For a glimpse of what the trip is like, here's the 2026 recap video (YouTube).
Whitewater Kayaking
This trip focuses on learning and honing the skills necessary to paddle enclosed whitewater boats down a river, including an introduction to kayak rolls. Our river selections take campers on the Chestatee and Chattahoochee rivers in North Georgia, navigating from entry level paddling sections up to Class II and III rapids throughout their week-long journey. Join us for a fun trip down the river and see how God’s creation can facilitate a life-changing experience for your faith development.

Backpackers spend 3.5 days and 3 nights hiking on the Benton MacKaye and Appalachian Trails. Fun side trips and stops at scenic points are included. Gain the skills and confidence to coordinate a backpacking trip on your own. Mild to moderate terrain, a pristine waterfall, breathtaking views, and a day on the banks of the Toccoa River make this trip perfect for beginner and advanced hikers alike.
