Backpacking allows a break from the noise of phones, games, and media. This allows real opportunity for youth and adults to get away and hear themselves think, and allow space for the Holy Spirit to be heard. These trips become a catalyst for bonding groups, and have the greatest potential for creating lasting behavior & life-change.
If your group needs a challenge that will help them build lasting bonds, push them to their limits, and stare truth in the face, then a backcountry adventure is what you’re looking for!
OTEA guides are certified in backcountry travel, first aid, & CPR. Additionally OTEA trip leaders also hold Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification through the Wilderness Medical Institute (W.M.I.) and have extensive backcountry experience. Your welfare is our top priority.
