Part Vacation
Stand atop a glacier, hike in Denali National Park, and catch a glimpse of the tallest mountain in North America, Mt. McKinley. Spend a day sailing in Prince William Sound visit the wildlife preserve near Anchorage and get to know the many "wild" residents who call Alaska their home.
Travelers will enjoy numerous activities, including horseback riding, river rafting, or shopping for Native Alaskan handicrafts in the largest open-air market in Anchorage. This new Christian travel opportunity allows participants to experience the many lakes, mountain ranges, and wildlife that make Alaska God's country!
Part Christian Service
The service element takes travelers into the Alaskan bush where they will live in a village and work alongside local men, women, and their families.
