Ridges Backpacking

Ridges camps immerse campers in the wilderness on a five-day backpacking or camping adventure. This is an opportunity for campers to study God’s Word while experiencing His creation on a deeper level. Campers will develop camping skills, hike beautiful trails, and enjoy spectacular views.​ 

Sessions limited to 10 campers. Camp Perkins is permitted by Sawtooth National Forest.
2026 Schedule is Up!

Entering Grades 5-8 | Intro to Ridges
Intro to Ridges is like traditional Ridges trips, except campers enjoy day hikes and return to their base camp each night. Campers spend five days in the mountains, trail hiking with a light day pack and developing camping skills. This week should help prepare campers for a Ridges Backpacking trip the next year.
