Summer Youth Events

Week-long backpacking events for rising 7th graders to graduating seniors.  Each begins with a two-day retreat at our Property, followed by five days of backpacking, and concluding with a final day back at the Property. 

Fall and Spring Events

Weekend hikes for ages 5 and up that are a great time for fellowship, retreat, and spiritual renewal in God's creation.  They take place each May and October. 

Design your own event

Wilderness Trail can design an event to meet your group's specific needs.  Examples include backpacking trips, retreats, day hikes, biking weekends, use of our Group Building Course, and more.  Fees are as low as $45/person or $300/group.  Contact Mary Brown at mary@wtrail.com or (828) 734-0355 for more information.

Rent our Facilities

At our Property we have:  the Lodge (kitchen, worship area, eating area, bathrooms, showers); the Group Building Course; 6 sleeping shelters; horseshoe pits; basketball court; wiffle ball field; volleyball court; outdoor chapel; and more.  Our location in Troutdale, VA is an easy drive to the Mt.

Work Days

Each spring a "Work Days" weekend begins our hiking season with fellowship and a little elbow grease.  No skills are needed, as jobs range from technical to basic cleaning.  Periodic work days are also held.  Email Mary Brown to get on the "Work Days" interest list.
