Every boy has questions on their journey to manhood. Men

provide the compass for that journey.

What does it mean to be a man? How do I become one? What are

the right things that a woman needs from a godly man? How do I become truly

alive? Our mission is to implement Christian-based wilderness programs through

which teenaged boys advance on their journey in becoming capable,

Christ-centered men. See how Of Mountains & Men use wilderness and outdoor

programs to help teenaged boys advance to become Christ-centered men.

What We Do

We introduce teenage boys to wilderness adventure, teaching them outdoor

skills and discussing Christian masculinity through the following trips:

• Wilderness
• canoeing in Boundary Waters, Minnesota
• Big Game
• Hunting in Colorado
• Winter
• adventure/survival skills in northern Minnesota

On these trips, biblically based discussions are held to help these young

men begin to answer the following questions:

• What does
• it mean to be a man?
• How do I
• become one?
• What are
• the right things that a woman needs from a godly man?
• How do I
• become truly alive?
