St. John's Outdoors
Since we live in such a spectacular place surrounded by God's creation, we are called to enjoy the beauty by getting outside to play. St. John's Outdoors is an opportunity to hike, fish, or float, in fellowship with your St. John's family. Please RSVP and sign the waiver prior to the event.
Summer 2024 Offerings
Monday, July 15 - Fishing excursion to Crystal Creek: Meet at the Crystal Creek Trailhead Parking at 10:00 a.m. for a day of fishing Crystal Creek. Pack a lunch, water, rain gear, bear spray, sunscreen, bug repellant and all you will need for a day of fishing Crystal Creek. We will hike a bit more than a mile with some elevation gain in order to reach our fishing spot. We’ll end our day sometime midafternoon and make our way back into town. RSVP required, so that we know to wait for you at the trailhead. This is an area of the Gros Ventre Mountains with no cell phone service. Please RSVP to Chandler at [email protected].
Thursday, July 25 - Amphitheater Lake / Disappointment Peak Hike: Ready to get your heartrate up? Join Travis and Haley for a hike into the Tetons, and a little prayer at altitude. We will depart from the Lupine Meadows Trailhead at 7am for a day of rigorous hiking. Our objective will be Amphitheater Lake, with the possibility of continuing on to climb Disappointment Peak, depending on collective interest and decision making. Note that the hike to Amphitheater Lake is strenuous. The out and back route to Amphitheater Lake is 10 miles, with 3k of elevation gain, and takes an average of 6 hours to complete (Disappointment is another 1.5k, and approx 1.5 miles with some light scrambling). Pack a lunch, snacks, water, rain gear, bear spray, sunscreen, a light layer, and shell. We'll enjoy lunch at Amphitheater Lake, and a short service of noonday prayer, and will be back in town well before sundown. RSVP required, so that we know to wait for you at the trailhead, or to coordinate carpool. Please RSVP to Travis at [email protected].
Annual Church on a River + Baptism: This year the floatilla from Jackson Dam to Pacific Creek will be on Sunday, July 28, 2024 after church. Be there by 1:30 p.m. as we launch at 2:00 p.m. sharp. Bring your own PFD or SUP or get on the waitlist, currently the St. John's rafts are full.
