It feels like the cards are stacked against you.

Your daughter is bombarded by messages telling her what to be. Helping her navigate this onslaught feels impossible.

Her need for an engaged dad has never been greater.

AFFIRM HER IDENTITY

EQUIP HER FOR THE JOURNEY

DEEPEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP

We feel the pressure of being a good dad.

There's no fathering manual, and intentional fathering wasn't modeled for most of us. That’s why we created Back Country Girls...

So you can rest assured, knowing you have what it takes to be a great dad.

Back Country Highlights

Why This Trip Is Different

In a daughter’s life, there is no man more important than her father. As she emerges from the little girl into the young woman, she needs your presence, your strength, your guidance and your intention. While you cannot be the one to lead her into womanhood (that is her mother’s role), God designed you to be her security, safety, and strength from which she will take wing and fly.

As a 14-16 year old young woman, she needs your time, attention, and intention. And she needs to experience your affection for both her loveliness and her fierceness. What better place is there to encounter these in her than the back country?

Experience the adventure of the outdoors on a 5-day backpacking trip into the high country of Colorado. Join a small group of other fathers as they seek to see, love, and launch their daughters. We have crafted an experience that will invite you to step away from the grind and enter the holy space of offering her life and love for a lifetime. 

This is not just a backpacking trip. God the Father used the wilderness as the context for Jesus’s preparation for ministry, and we believe there is no better place to help your daughter discover how she reflects God’s strength and beauty to the world. All the while, we will be hiking, camping, and climbing mountains away from civilization and enjoying the fierce beauty of the Colorado Rockies.

Back Country Girls Backpacking is our newest expedition offering! While some of the basic elements (hiking, camping, etc.) are similar to the boys trip, we have gone back to the drawing board and crafted a unique experience for fathers and daughters. Our location and trail are different, and we have built in some fantastic surprises the girls will love! Building on the categories presented in Base Camp Girls, we will deepen our exploration of what it means to be a young woman strongly supported by a kind father. [Specific activities intentionally kept secret!]

Back Country Colorado is truly a backpacking experience, and all participants must recognize this is completely primitive with no facilities but the woods. Our wilderness guides provide delicious meals and outdoor skills-building so there is no need for prior backpacking experience. We have both male and female guides who are highly skilled in all things outdoors, so you and your girls can be at rest. While no prior back country experience is needed, all participants (girls and dads alike) need to have the physical ability to carry 30-50 lb. backpacks for 5-6 miles at high elevation and a willingness to be pushed physically to accomplish significant challenges.

“This was way more than a camping weekend. We experienced a shared journey of both physical hiking through abundant beauty and inner awakening of our hearts with creation, the Creator and each other. My daughter and I have banked these moments forever in our shared story. I couldn't be more grateful."
