Adirondack Challenge

September 17-21, 2025

Registration Deadline is September 1st. We expect registration to fill up quickly, so be sure to secure your spot! 

 

Take part in a transformative multi-day Challenge in the scenic Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. This will be a unique Freedom Challenge experience with day hikes that accommodate multiple hiker abilities and additional programming, prayer and worship sessions, guest speakers, and stories from ministry projects.

Together, we will strengthen our faith, passion, and sisterhood while standing against the injustice of human trafficking, trusting that our worship and dedication will move mountains on behalf of the vulnerable.
