3 nights of camping & 4 days of spiritual development program:
Thursday afternoon through Sunday lunch
Registration price includes: campsite reservations, tents, food, cooking gear, all activities & curriculum, outdoor skill training, spiritual development program, journal, & Yokefellows sweatshirt.
Backcountry-style tent camping in a deep pocket of wilderness. We will backpack into the campsites (the hike in is about 2 miles), & keep camp in the same location for all 3 nights.
Teaching sessions will be in the campsite or on short dayhikes away from camp.
This curriculum incorporates the spiritual disciplines of community, fellowship, scripture reading, prayer, silence, solitude, & service.
We will build up the healthy habit of “Time Alone With God” (sometimes called a “quiet time” or “devotional”), starting a short time in the morning, building up to a 1/2-day solo on the last full day.
We will also examine the stories of our lives (sometimes called a “testimony”), asking the Lord what story He would have us remember & share with others.

What is the Pocket Wilderness Spiritual Intensive?
This is a deep dive into encountering God in the wilderness during 3 nights of tent camping, day hikes, and learning about and practicing the historic Christian spiritual disciplines in an outdoor environment.
Expect time sharing in community paired with solo times starting small (30 minutes) and increasing to 4 to 8 hours to practice the specific spiritual disciplines of silence & solitude.
This is level 3 of our Pocket Wilderness programming. To learn more about the “Pockets of Wilderness” concept, read here >
