The Expedition — Backpacking Section is an opportunity to experience Kanakuk at new heights -- literally 14,000 feet. It is a seven day wilderness addition to your Kanakuk Colorado term that will teach and equip you how to experience life in the mountains. The Expedition is an intense outdoor and biblical leadership education program. If you are interested in backpacking through the most pristine mountains in Southwest Colorado while learning leadership techniques and a good dose of solid Biblical truth, this is for you. The Expedition is for campers from K-West, K-2, and K-Colorado. This program is not intended to take campers from any camp but will only be offered to those attending a regular session at one of the specifically mentioned camps. There are eight (8) sessions and a maximum of ten (10) campers per session.

You are going to have the chance to hike through the Weminuche Wilderness where you will see some of the greatest views the state of Colorado has to offer. You will learn backcountry cooking skills, how to set up camp in the wilderness, and how to navigate the tallest peaks in the area, small group leadership, as well as receive biblical training. Our 7-Day Expedition Kamp is only $840.00. Other prominent outdoor organizations are charging anywhere from $868.00 to $1,320.00 for a week of outdoor leadership training. Our instructors are some of the best in the country, the mountains are among the most pristine in Colorado, and the leadership training you receive will give you the tools to lead your high school or college group closer to Christ.
