BUFFALO RIVER // 19-22 Apr 2017
Focusing on becoming a better leader, this adventure takes you and your team through the book of Nehemiah where you will discover a vision for your life and how to bring it to fruition, culminating in a four-day river-trip along the wild Buffalo River in the Ozarks of Arkansas.
Established in 1972, Buffalo National River flows freely for 135 miles and is one of the few remaining undammed rivers in the lower 48 states. Once you arrive, prepare to journey from running rapids to quiet pools while surrounded by massive bluffs as you cruise through the Ozark Mountains down to the White River.
