Are you ready for an amazing adventure amidst the unexpected and scenic terrain of southern Indiana? One may assume that Indiana is no more than flat cornfields, but prepare your mind and body for significant elevation changes and altering terrain that reflect the similar ups, downs, and choices we have to make in our everyday lives. Take the ultimate test of character in the wilderness where fox and deer roam and eagles soar. Thousands of men before you have taken the challenge and survived the life changing experience of an Xtreme Character ChallengeSM.
For 72 hours, you will be placed on a team to battle with the elements, with yourself, and with God. Eventually there is only one winner! Weekends are physically challenging with great spiritual lessons where you will examine your life and your purpose. You will hike many miles but ultimately it is the 18 inches between head and heart that truly matters.
