PWI Trip Application 2024

(Note: The 2025 Trip Application Form has not yet been released!)

Each Petra Wilderness Trip provides intentional times in the backcountry. Please fill out the application form below in it's entirety and you will hear from the PWI Leaders on the status and acceptance of your application.

Be sure to check the correct trip(s) you are applying for. There are a limited number of spots on each trip. Gear rental fees will be due upon application being accepted in order to secure your spot. There are some scholarships available for those who need assistance with the gear rental cost.

Please note that Petra Wilderness International trips require participants to have their own broken in ankle high hiking boots and the ability to hike 5-7 miles per day carrying a backpacking pack. PWI does have backpacking equipment available for rental during the trips and will be made available in order of applications received.
