Damascus Loop - 50 Miles
Experiencing God on the Appalachian Trail...
August 10-15 - $105.00

A discipleship journey on the Appalachian Trail. Backpack 50 miles through some of God's most beautiful creation. 

The trip is ranked as "difficult". It's rugged terrain and steep climbs make this a physically challenging trip. The difficult adversities are well rewarded as you top Mt. Rogers, Virginia's highest mountain peek.

Our staff will guide you on this 6 day adventure on the Appalachian trail. Your journey will also take you onto the Iron Mt. Trail and the Virginia Creeper Trail.  Enjoy breathtaking waterfalls and amazing sights as you walk these beautiful trails. Some of the highlights of this trip are the remote Appalachian forests, wild ponies, Grayson Highlands, Virginia's highest mountain peek (Mt. Rogers), and much more.

Backpacks, water-bottles, mess kits, permits, and dinner meals on the trail are provided. This can be a life changing adventure as you push yourself to new levels. This trip is for adult males and teen guys age 16 or older. 

Our "off campus"  trips are based on the scriptural principle found in Proverbs 27:17, "Iron Sharpeneth Iron...". The goal is to allow men to focus on the Creator while strengthening each other's walk with Christ. This discipleship trip can be a pivotal and monumental place in lives of those who attend.

As the days quickly pass we are running out of preparation days. This letter is for all the men involved in our “Damascus Loop - Appalachian Trail” discipleship journey. The information on this page is to help you prepare and to make sure that we are all on the same page.

As you know this can and will be a fun and exciting trip as we will be hiking approximately 50 miles. The main purpose of this journey is a spiritual one. The idea and scriptural principal we find in Proverbs 27:17 is what this trip is based upon (Iron Sharpeneth Iron). Please be in prayer about this and remember that the devil will try and hinder any opportunity in which we may try and draw closer to the Lord. This is also an opportunity to help another brother grow in his walk with God.

This section of the trail that we will hike is beautiful and very enjoyable to hike. I will be the Lead Guide during the week and Adam Hager will be the Assistant Guide. I have personally hiked this trail nourmorous times and have grown quite comfortable with the ins and outs of the trail. We are looking forward to an exciting week.

The cost of the trip is will be $105.00 per person. You can write a check to The Wilderness Christian Camp or simply pay online with a credit card. The cost includes all your evening meals, backpack, water bottles, tent, mess kit, maps, and permits. Please let me know if you have questions or details that need to be cleared up.

I am eagerly anticipating an amazing week together. I am praying that God will do a great work among us during these five days. Please pray along with me.

Jason J. Perlak
