Stay tuned for radix 2024!
RADIX Adventures
2024 Camp Dates Sessions are co-ed
Session #1: July 7-12
Session #2: July 14-19
RADIX Adventures is an outreach of Christ the King parish in Missoula. We integrate the raw, intense and difficult wilderness experience with the foundations of our faith in the context of a 6-day backpacking adventure. We will celebrate mass each morning and dig into our rich Catholic tradition each evening while covering 5-8 miles of wilderness trail, climbing mountains, catching cutthroat trout and learning wilderness survival skills during the day.
For youth entering grades 9 through graduating seniors.
What it’s all about…
Radix is the Latin word for ‘root’ or ‘origin’. At RADIX Adventures, we follow our Lord into the wilderness that we might form young men and women in virtue.
We recognize that there are risks inherent in a wilderness setting. To mitigate these risks, all of our RADIX guides has previous experience guiding in the outdoors and each trip has at least one guide with a current WFR (Wilderness First Responder) certification. We also have detailed emergency protocols in place.
