Some common questions to help answer yours
-
We are nestled deep in the mountains of British Columbia and well out of the way of any major hwys. This can make getting here a little tricky but with some assistance you can have a hassle free trip. Call us at 1-250-352-9926 or email us at info@ywammountainrefuge.ca and we can talk you through the options.
-
Our adventures are designed for all levels of mountain experience. We would recommend good hiking/running shoes. We suggest you wear them in before your first trip into the mountains. This will save your feet a lot of discomfort. There is adventure at our doorstep for all fitness levels.
-
Please refer to our packing list. It is important to know that the weather in Canada can be unpredictable at any time of year. Please note that there is a “cold weather” packing list and a “warm weather” packing list.
-
The program is designed for all ages, though the predominant age group attending will be 17-25 year olds. Minors will need to have guardian or parental permission
-
The program is designed for a maximum of 8-12 participants. By keeping the group small there will be more time for personal ministry. Personal ministry will happen in the daily gatherings, scheduled sessions, during one to ones, and through connected ministry sessions.
-
The closest community is the City of Nelson. We are located 5 minutes from the down-town main street. The population is 10,500 and locals joke that it has an equal amount of coffee shops to the number of people living here.
-
The closest airport is located in Castlegar (A.K.A. Cancel-gar) a 40 minute drive from Nelson. Due to the unpredictability of airplanes landing in Castlegar (very common) we recommend flying into Spokane Washington, Cranbrook or Kelowna BC.
