A Journey of Healing, Strength & Purpose
November 7–10, 2025 | The Farmhouse at Buzzard Rock | Hamptonville, NC
Not Just a Retreat — A Mission in Motion
This November, women from across the country will come together for Take A Hike 2025, a 4-day Christian women’s retreat designed to restore hearts, renew minds, and help you walk boldly in your God-given purpose.
But this year, we’re hiking for more than ourselves. Every step taken during this retreat will help fund 10 sponsorships for military spouses and service members to receive free coaching, marriage support, and healing resources through Full Range Foundation Inc.
Whether you join us on the trails or support from home, your participation brings hope, restoration, and strength to those who sacrifice so much for our country.
How It Works:
-
Each hiker is encouraged to raise $100 per mile or set a goal amount during our Big Hike Day on Sunday.
-
Every $500 raised = 1 full sponsorship for a military spouse or service member.
-
Friends, family, and supporters can sponsor you per mile or give a flat donation.
When you hike, you’re not just climbing a mountain — you’re helping someone else overcome theirs.

The Need is Real — and We Can Meet It Together
Military families carry unique burdens — the silent weight of trauma, long separations, and the struggle of rebuilding after deployment. Too often, these struggles go unseen and unsupported.
Full Range Foundation steps in to:
-
Provide individual and marriage coaching
-
Equip couples to navigate challenges with faith and resilience
-
Offer mental, emotional, and spiritual support at no cost to them
When you give, you’re providing real help for those who give everything to protect our freedom.
