New heights, new perspective, and a breath of fresh air.

Escape the daily pressure and come be a kid again. You will go on a wild adventure of scaling granite walls and backpacking through mountains that will take you to new heights. All along the way you will be rediscovering who God is and who God made you to be. It’s going to be wild and it’s going to be great.We understand how difficult it is to disconnect, discern and reflect in this hyper-connected, noisy world. Wilderness is naturally quiet, a proven healer that fosters reflection and spiritual growth.Your instructors will provide the structure and space for you to reflect deeply on where you have been and time to listen to where God is taking you next.

Course Info

ESSENTIAL ELIGIBILITY
There are no prerequisites for this course except a desire to learn and grow. We will teach you the skills of rock climbing and backpacking, including the essential backcountry skills of gourmet cooking and using the bathroom in the wilderness.
Skill Level
Beginner
Physical Ability
  • Carry a backpack 40-60% of your body weight, hiking 4-8 miles a day on the backpacking section
  • Hike and camp at elevations of 8,000 ft. and up
  • Long days, often up at 6am and in bed at 9pm

We understand the physical requirements may be overwhelming, but we find most people can train and do great. We provide a training plan to help you be physically prepared for your trip so you can succeed and have the most fun.

Arrival
You will meet your leaders and team at SROM headquarters in Laramie, WY. The day will start with a brief orientation as you get to know your leaders and team members. We can help with any gear you need and lead you in packing your backpack before heading out.
On the Trip
With your packs ready, you’ll set out to the world-class Vedauwoo Recreation Area for rock climbing. Here, you’ll begin your journey in community, learning to build trust and develop tools for overcoming fear. You’ll master basic climbing knots, learn how to belay a climber, and practice essential climbing techniques. Each day will feature a spiritual theme, with family time in the evenings that includes worship, teaching, and discussion. Your leaders will also demonstrate what it means to be a Leader of the Day (LOD), and you’ll have the opportunity to take on this role at least once during the course.
Departure

Returning to the SROM base, you will de-issue group gear and rented gear before showering and debriefing with one of our staff members. Officially closing the course, you will be awarded with a course completion certificate.Afterwards, teams often go out for a celebratory dinner*at a local restaurant.

*This meal is not covered by SROM as it is outside of the official course. However, it is a good thing to plan for.
