Compass is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is governed by a Board of Directors who are dedicated to fulfilling the vision of Compass Wilderness. Our staff is the heartbeat of our ministry. They allow groups to safely participate in rock climbing, rappelling, rafting, hiking and camping while teaching about Christ through the activities.

Creation Shows God

We believe that all creation shouts God’s praise.  Spending time surrounded by nature directs hearts and minds towards God.  We use what God has provided to guide people toward Him.
