Peak Challenge

A wilderness experience for men and young men in the mountains near Leadville, Colorado. Join us August 4-8, 2026 for worship, challenge, brotherhood, and time set apart with God.

GOD. MEN. MOUNTAINS. LEGACIES.

A Wilderness Experience Like No Other

Peak Challenge is a chance to step away from normal rhythms and meet God in the mountains. For more than two decades, men have gathered for a few simple days of camping, hiking, worship, campfire conversations, and challenge. It is not just a trip to Colorado. It is a focused space to listen, reset, and come home ready to lead with greater faith, courage, and purpose.

PREPARE FOR PEAK CHALLENGE

What to Know Before You Go

Peak Challenge is simple by design, but the mountains deserve preparation. Here are the basics for camping, hiking, food, schedule, and spiritual readiness.

Camp at Altitude

Printer Boy is tent camping at about 9,700 feet. Bring layers, rain gear, a warm sleeping bag, a good camp chair, and the gear you need for cold nights and mountain weather.

Dates & Location >

Train for the Trail

Hiking at 10,000 to 14,000 feet is demanding. Start cardio training early and plan for good shoes, non-cotton socks, hydration, sunscreen, rain gear, and trekking poles if helpful.

Come Ready

Meals are on your own this year. Some men cook in camp and others go into Leadville. The heart of the week is large-group worship, campfire conversation, excursions, and the Friday group hike.
