Backpacking/Rappelling Adventure

Welcome to one of Project Forty’s most frequented destinations–the Red River Gorge.  We will have an opportunity to get out into the wild ravines in the gorge that host wonderful walls of sandstone that beg to be climbed and cliffs that need to be rappelled.  This trip is customizable for up to 8 participants (backpacking option) or up to 10 (car camping option) to have an epic, close-knit group adventure that will draw one another closer relationally, challenge your group dynamics and strengthen your team leadership.  We want to see young people ditch their phones for 4 days and become open books to see what God wants to do in their hearts while experiencing His Creation without distraction.  Get ready for an adventure that will you’ll never forget!
