Park Wilderness
One way to gather together with others from Park Church is through our outdoor ministry, Park Wilderness. This ministry is member-led and exists to plan and lead outdoor trips for our community. Many of us are excited to be outside, especially during the gorgeous summer months. We believe there is so much value in disconnecting from busy life in order to connect with God and others in creation!
In specific seasons, we plan trips for all ability and experience levels. We have extra gear (tents, backpacks, etc) that we can provide, so don't let not having a few essentials hold you back from signing up. Overnight trips and Paddleboarding have a small cost associated with them and day hikes are free. If cost is an issue for any trips, please reach out as there are scholarships available that we’d love to give you.
Questions & Group Updates
If you are interested in learning more about Park Wilderness or receiving updates, please join our group on CCB (see button below). The Park Wilderness team would love to be a resource to anyone with general questions regarding all things wilderness, so please reach out! With any other questions, please feel free to email Daniel Marafino.
