The Desert Rat Experience is a man’s weekend designed for guys who are into all kinds of off-roading. There’s just something about riding or driving motorcycles, quads, rails, and 4x4s with a bunch of guys who consider the desert a big playground. That’s what the Desert Rat Experience is all about. You can count on lots of riding time, great Desert Rat messages from Pastor Chris Brown, and three hot meals with lots of meat.

If you don’t have an off-road vehicle or 4×4, you will need to find a friend who has an extra bike or an extra seat belt. We will not be providing any vehicles, bikes, or lodging.

You don’t need to know anyone to come.

We recommend the event for teens and above, but trust dads to make the call on a younger boy. The brief teaching times will be appropriate for any age.
