**Note: this is a privately-organized trip for Our Lady of Victory High School Students, Staff, and designated Chaperones only**
Join Creatio for this unforgettable mountain adventure! Learn the basics of backpacking and receive formation on the relationship between God, man, and nature, while making new friends and enjoying the natural splendor of Colorado. Leading this experience along with the Creatio guides will be the OL of Victory teachers and Chaplain Father James Jackson, who will be assisting in the liturgy, spiritual activities and talks that will be a part of this 3-day adventure.
This trip is beginner / introductory level and no prior backpacking experience is required, although hiking experience is strongly advised. Come prepared to get out your comfort zone and push your limits. While backpacking trips are challenging, they provide an incredibly rewarding and unique opportunity for adventure seekers.
Price includes food, transportation, formation, and Creatio guides. Creatio would like to thank the Archdiocese of Denver for it's dedication to educating the faithful on the care and stewardship of creation. This trip is made possible at a low cost due to financial support from the Office of Social Ministry. If you feel called to support Creatio's mission, please consider making a small donation.
