Adventure Trips

Adventure that carries meaning.

CMF Adventure Trips combine physical challenge with spiritual purpose—inviting you to step outside your comfort zone and engage global mission in a powerful, memorable way.  

With each trip, you’ll travel to a CMF field, adventure with mission-minded teammates, and come alongside a ministry through prayer, awareness, and fundraising. 

Past trips have included climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, hiking through the Grand Canyon, and walking the Camino de Santiago.

More trips are in the planning phase. All of these trips provide not just the experience of a lifetime, but also raise funds to help life-transforming ministries happen all over the world!

West Highland Way

THIS TRIP IS FULL!

The West Highland Way Hike with CMF is a stunning 96‑mile journey through the Scottish Highlands—past Loch Lomond, Glen Nevis, and a wide range of iconic landscapes—designed not only to offer an unforgettable adventure but also to support Roots, CMF’s university ministry in Edinburgh, where most students have little to no Christian background; by joining the hike, participants enjoy well‑marked trails, luggage transport, cozy local lodging, and rich community while helping create a welcoming space where students can explore faith, ask honest questions, and encounter God’s love, making the trip both a physical challenge and a meaningful opportunity to impact lives.

Three Peaks Challenge

Summer 2027

Climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales over three unforgettable days, taking in some of the most stunning landscapes in the UK. You’ll also spend time with Canvas, our Globalscope campus ministry in Birmingham, England. In a city of over a million people and more than 30,000 university students—many with little or no exposure to Christian community—Canvas is reaching this generation for Christ. This trip blends meaningful ministry engagement with a bucket‑list outdoor adventure. Funds raised will directly support the ongoing work of Canvas.

Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro

Fall 2027

“To walk in the awe of Scotland's beauty alongside other believers for Roots was such an honor. I'm not sure which was more beautiful: the landscape that surrounded us or the community built along the way” 

– Izzy S.            

“When I signed up to walk the West Highland Way I never imagined the relationships I would make and the opportunity to see God’s love in action The beauty of Scotland was incredible and I learned what a wonderful program Roots is and the lives they are impacting.” 

- Rhonda A.
