Escape the noise. Connect with God. Forge true fellowship.


Join us for an overnight backpacking adventure deep in the heart of Wharton State Forest. We’ll be hiking about 5 miles into the wilderness to set up camp at the Mullica River Wilderness Campsite — a truly primitive site. No luxuries. No distractions. Just God's creation, good fellowship, and the kind of challenge men were made for.

After a night under the stars, we’ll pack up and hike 5–8 miles back to the trailhead.
