On Thursday April 22 the Holy Cross men will set out for the mountains of North Carolina to rediscover their hearts for what is considered the very best of times for countless men who have dared to go. All men are invited to come on the adventure with us to renew old friendships and maybe, for the first time, make new authentic friendships with your Holy Cross “Band Of Brothers” that will last a lifetime.
Where are we hiking?
Pisgah National Forest, NC
Hike Format — Base Camp Team:
We will be having a “Base Camp” hike in Pisgah National Forest. This involves a short hike to a base camp on Thursday and from which we will do moderately challenging 6-8 mile day hikes on Friday and Saturday. It's a time to unplug and connect with God and with other men in the wilderness.
Praise, worship and spiritual teachings will happen around the campfire each night and spiritual teachings on the trail each day.

Once both these things are done, your registration will be confirmed and you will receive hike information via email about preparatory meeting dates, the book we'll be reading before leaving, necessary equipment, and logistics.
We recommend that you begin preparing your gear now. You can download the Gear Checklist to begin this process. You do not need to own all of the equipment shown on the checklist but you will need to have it in time for the Spring Hike. Our Hike leadership team can help you locate gear to borrow if needed.
