We had two trips this Summer. A big trip out to Wyoming had 14 9th graders and a 7th grade trip that had 13 guys adventuring in Virginia. Both trips were a huge success! The guys formed new friendships, persevered through adversity, and most importantly were challenged to cultivate and deepen a personal relationship with their Creator.
“One Kairos Fellowship tradition is to swim in a river on our final day of backpacking. This year, we went on quite the expedition to reach our water. After trekking down a small stream and fighting through thick brush, we reached a point in the river where the water was teeming with life as it rushed over the river bed (invigorating us all as it washed off our trip grime). This adventure that strayed us from the trail was a highlight for all the guys on the trip. We’re hoping to get these fresh trail blazers back for a trip next summer!”
