UPBC - Trail Camps

C.R.O.S.S. Trails - womens backpacking trip

Young women ages 15+

C.R.O.S.S. Trails is the new name for UPBC's backpacking trip for young women. C.R.O.S.S. stands for Christian Relationships and Outdoor Spiritual Survival. This is an entry level backpacking experience for young women. The group spends five to six days in the wilderness at either Porcupine Mountains State Park or Isle Royale National Park. These parks are some of the most beautiful backpacking sites in all of North America (Backpacker Magazine).

The trip is designed to teach basic and intermediate backpacking skills and techniques that enable women to get out into the woods and enjoy God's beautiful creation. Participants in this small-group camping experience will build relationships as they share the joys and trials--physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual--found on the trail. This trip will help prepare young women to face the everyday challenges they encounter in high school, college, or the early years of a professional career.
