I want to go on this trip mainly to be out in nature and have a spiritual experience.

Colorado to me sounds like one of the most free experiences a youth could do. It is the opportunity to experience the world in ways very few people do.

What I look forward to on this trip is getting to spend the time of my life with my best friends and seeing God's beautiful creations in nature.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to grow my relationships with God and the girls. I know that during this trip we will have many opportunities to strengthen one another, and I am very excited for this. I would also like to hang with the chipmunks.

I am so excited to go on this trip. It is going to be a great opportunity to get to know these amazing girls better and to appreciate God’s beautiful creation in Colorado!

I’ve always loved God’s great outdoors and any reason to explore and praise him is one for me! I’d also love to grow my photography with this opportunity.

My goals for this trip are to be in God’s glory without the distractions from everyday life, and to grow my relationship with Him and the women going with me.

I love being surrounded in God’s creation and without distractions.

The things I'm most looking forward to are, time spent in God's beautiful creation, pushing myself out of my comfort zone, getting to build deeper relationships with my girls and time away from the digital distractions in my life. I know God is preparing to do a great work in all our hearts.

Outside is my happy place, especially if it’s the Rocky Mountains!  They speak well of the majestic works of our Creator and direct me to worship Him in humbleness of spirit.  I look forward to sharing in the laughter, the learning, the beauty of this hike with this group of precious young women.

There is nothing like a backpacking trip in the mountains to remind us of our power and our vulnerability. We are strengthened and humbled in the most beautiful of ways. I am thrilled to join this group of bright, young, beautiful women as they are fueled and freed to be exactly who they were created to be!
