Archways

Begin Your Asbury Journey with Archways

Archways celebrates its 26th year in 2025 and we couldn’t be more excited. Archways is the best way to start your Asbury journey. Archways is a pre-orientation adventure trip designed to prepare new students mentally, spiritually, and emotionally for entrance into the Asbury community and build relationships that last for the next four years, and beyond!

Experience God’s Creation through some or all of camping, rock climbing, rappelling, hiking, backpacking, worship under the stars, and so much more with our team of faculty, staff and students from the Kentucky Outdoor Institute. All abilities are welcome, and no experience is required. As long as you are open to growing as a person and creating meaningful community, this is the program for you. Past participants routinely remember the Archways program as one of the highlights of their time at Asbury.

Total cost: $400 (If cost is an issue, please contact the Kentucky Outdoor Institute for scholarship opportunities.)

Don’t hesitate to reach out before then if you have any questions or need further information.
