Click to view HIGH TECH TREK slide show A true high tech wilderness challenge! You’ll explore a backcountry trail using a GPS to find geocaches* that will lead you to your destination! Enjoy two nights out on the trail while geocaching and backpacking. You will also spend three nights at ELC base camp while going rock-climbing and whitewater rafting down the famous Arkansas River! Campers will grow closer to Christ through regular Bible study, quiet times and discussions with their counselors.
