Who we are
About Us
Into the Wilderness (ITW) is a Christian outdoor ministry that creates space for people to disconnect from distractions, experience authentic community, and encounter God in the beauty and challenge of the Italian Alps and Dolomites.
Since 2009, we've been organizing transformational adventures — welcoming individuals, youth, and families to disconnect from the noise, experience real community, and explore deeper questions about life, identity, and God.
Through hiking, canyoning, wild camping, rafting, high-altitude living, and more — we create space to reset, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Our Mission
To guide people into a deeper relationship with God, helping them rediscover their true identity, grow in character, and return to their daily lives equipped, transformed, and sent with purpose.
Our Vision
A generation of young people and families who know who they are, know who God is, and are ready to live with boldness, compassion, and integrity — in every environment they walk into.
Our Values
To live with faith at the center, helping people grow in their identity in Christ, build strong character through discipleship and community, and step into the world with courage, integrity, and purpose.
What Makes ITW Different
A landscape that stretches you.Challenges that build courage.Moments that awaken something deeper.
No filters. No comparison. No pretending.Just real people, real conversations, and real belonging.
Not performance. Not pressure.An invitation to know the Creator—experienced in the wild places.
A spark that follows you home—shaping how you live, lead, love, and walk into your world with intention.
