Mount Kenya – Point Lenana (Chogoria Route)
$550 USD All-Inclusive
Mount Kenya Men’s Retreat
Step away from the demands of everyday life and join other men for an unforgettable journey of adventure, brotherhood,
and spiritual renewal on the slopes of Mount Kenya. Surrounded by one of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes,
this retreat is designed to challenge you physically, strengthen you spiritually, and deepen your walk with Christ.
At BlueSky, we believe that following Jesus means stepping into adventure, embracing challenge, and living on mission.
This retreat provides a unique opportunity to get away from the distractions of everyday life, experience God’s creation, and pursue Him alongside other men who desire to grow as disciples, leaders, husbands, fathers, and friends.
Centered around the theme “Stand Firm and Act Like Men” (1 Corinthians 16:13-14), we will explore what it means to live with courage, conviction, strength, and faith in a world that constantly challenges biblical manhood. Through mountain trekking, shared meals, biblical teaching, honest conversations, and the pursuit of Point Lenana via the scenic Chogoria Route, we will discover together how God uses challenge, adversity, and community to shape men who faithfully follow Christ and make disciples.
As we journey toward the summit, we will encourage one another to take the next step in our relationship with Jesus and His mission. The climb itself will serve as a reminder that spiritual growth often requires perseverance, dependence upon God, and the support of others. Through every step, conversation, and challenge, our desire is that each man would return home with a deeper love for Christ, stronger relationships with other believers, and renewed passion to live on mission wherever God has placed him.
Whether you are an experienced hiker or simply willing to prepare and embrace the challenge, this retreat is for you. Come ready to be stretched, encouraged, and inspired as you journey alongside other men
toward the summit. Return home with renewed purpose, deeper friendships, lasting memories,
and greater confidence in God’s calling on your life.

These retreats are designed for men ages 18 and older who desire to grow in their relationship with Christ, build meaningful friendships with other men, and experience God through adventure, fellowship, and biblical community.
