A powerful, screen-free reset in the outdoors where young people build skills and confidence away from the hustle of daily life. Whether hiking or paddling, participants learn the fundamentals of backcountry travel and living outdoors while developing resilience, sound decision making, and leadership through real challenges and shared responsibility. Traveling mile by mile as a group reinforces an essential lesson: caring for ourselves helps us show up for others. The values and habits formed on a Teen Backcountry Trip—self reliance, teamwork, and respect for wild places—give students sturdy footing as they navigate this exciting stage of life.
