Go outside of your safely drawn confines into the adventure of faith, hope, and love. Venture to the edge of your physical and spiritual limitations to find the One from whom you draw life and the One before whom you bow your head and bend your knee.

Odyssey brings together the elements of Encounter and Discovery into a backcountry adventure of backpacking, rafting, and orienteering. BetterDays organizes trips for men, women, couples, co-ed (non-married couples), and father-son. Similar to Discovery, trips can be custom built to suit your organizational needs. Odyssey is ideal for leadership teams and groups who are seeking a seminal experience to strengthen a communal bond and clarify calling.

We currently organize trips that are six days in length, including two half days of travel. Professional guides, equipment, food, and lodging are part of the package. Participants are responsible for travel to and from the base of the trip. Trips are based out of Buena Vista, Colorado during the summer months.
