Wilderness Trips

Wilderness tripping is an essential part of Ogichi Daa Kwe. In the midst of the wilderness, we are humbled by the vast power of nature. Participants are able to discover their strengths and areas of challenge within the support of closely formed groups. While on the trek, there is an inner strength that comes when you have a sense of being a part of something so much bigger than yourself; when you surrender to the beautiful connectedness of all things.
