SOLO CAMPING TRIP
MEN
PURPOSE: CONNECT WITH THE LORD
We will spend two days camping on the shores of Donnell Pond.
Men have been marking and navigating important life transitions by embarking on solo journeys into the wilderness since ancient times. Jesus often retreated to the wilderness to spend time alone with the Father. These practices, rooted in various cultures and spiritual beliefs, have served as powerful rites of passage, allowing individuals to connect deeply with themselves and the natural world, and the Lord.

We have a unique opportunity as men to focus on contentment and God’s values and often it takes us leaving our comfort zones to realign and change.

PADDLE BOARD ADVENTURE
YOUNG ADULT MEN OR WOMEN
PURPOSE: ADVENTURE & FORMATION
Get a group together to enjoy a day on the water! “Into the Current” is a young adult paddle board adventure. This experience takes formation onto the water—where balance is tested and growth happens in motion. It is a perfect opportunitity to invite friends who are asking spritual questions or for those that are believers and anywhere in betweeen.
Through guided paddle routes, short trail-style teachings, and intentional moments of challenge and rest, participants explore what it looks like to trust God, listen to the Holy Spirit, endure with hope, and keep moving forward when conditions change.
You don’t need paddle board experience—just a willingness to say yes to adventure. Expect fun, meaningful conversation, quiet stretches on the water, and a deeper awareness of how God forms us when we choose to enter the current instead of resisting it.
PADDLE THE ACADIA WATERWAYS
WOMEN
PURPOSE: TRUST GOD IN THE TENSION OF LIFE & SPIRITUAL RENEWAL
You are invited to slow down and encounter God in the beauty of creation. As we paddle together, we’ll create space for rest, reflection, and meaningful connection—with God and with one another.
As women, it can be easy to feel alone in the hustle of life: work, family, relationships, church, and then pain from the trials of life. We don’t instinctively know how to find God in the tension of life. It is a process of vulnerability and connection that needs to be taught, shared, and practiced with others.
CADILLAC HIKE
WOMEN
PURPOSE: FRIENDSHIP & FINDING JOY IN THE HARD
Calling all ladies between the ages of 15 and 95! We will be hiking up Acadia’s highest peak—Mount Cadillac—all with the purpose of enjoying God’s creation, building friendships, and learning how to find joy in the face of hard things.
REST & RENEWAL RETREAT
WOMEN
PURPOSE: REST IN JESUS
Do you need space to reflect and reset? Do you long to hear God more clearly?
Our Rest and Renewal retreats are designed to do just that: help you find rest and renewal for your soul. Life is busy and we are often bogged down with to-do lists and schedules, work and family needs. Whether life has started to feel overwhelming and you can’t hear God’s voice anymore, or you just feel like your walk with the Lord could use some attention and focus, this is the retreat for you.
ISLAND CAMPING
WOMEN
PURPOSE: JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH
This camping adventure is designed to help you unplug, breathe deep, and remember how to celebrate. We will ferry over to Cranberry Island and camp near the ocean and experience shared meals, campfires, laughter, fun, and joy that comes from simply being alive—together.
Guided by Nehemiah 8:10 — “The joy of the Lord is your strength,” this adventure invites you to rediscover joy not as something earned, but as a gift to receive. Through island camping, short hikes, rock/seaglass hunting, stories around the fire, and unhurried time outdoors, we create space to rest, play, and give thanks.
There are moments for reflection and gratitude, but the heart of this adventure is celebration—of God’s goodness, of community, and of the life we’ve been given. Gather friends and come ready to laugh, explore, eat well, sleep under the stars, leave lighter than you arrived and be quipped to find joy in your everyday life.
CUTLER COAST BACKPACKING

This coastal trail is beautiful and constantly going up and down, much like our life. Get a group of women together for an adventure of a lifetime. Make memories and become more deeply rooted in Christ.
