Join the fathers, sons, and men of Wilderness Outreach for a weekend adventure of camping and hiking on the Lake Hope and Zaleski Trails.

The campout will include meals, campfires, discussions about masculine spirituality and the prayers of the Liturgy of the Hours.

3:oo pm Friday is the suggested arrival time, though later arrivals will be accommodated.

We plan on celebrating the Vigil Mass in camp on Saturday evening. Stay tuned for an update.

Please plan on showing up early, 2:00 pm Friday, if you can to help pack food and supplies into the camp. We hope to break camp early Sunday morning so that we can head home by early afternoon.

The cost of the weekend is $40 per participant.
