25 years of teen outdoor adventures and community service

For over 25 years, we have been providing exciting adventure summer camp programs for teenagers, combining wilderness adventure with the opportunity to work with native peoples on service projects that honor their traditional lifeways, or on conservation projects that preserve the beauty of the American West.

Our adventure summer camps provide:

• Amazing expedition experiences for every teen, experienced or not
• Community service that is meaningful and truly cross-cultural
• Small group size, close in age, for powerful team dynamics
• Incredible personal growth opportunities
• Thoughtful, individual and relevant leadership training
• Environmental awareness and nature studies
• Experienced and inspirational leaders – average age in 2009 was 28
• 1:4 staff-to-participant ratio
• Unrivalled programming area knowledge and safety record

Featured Program:

Colorado Plateau Challenge Grades 7-8 (ages 13-14)

Ever cruised through an aspen grove on your bike at 10,000 feet?

This program packs a ton of action into 15 days, Deer Hill style: inflatable kayak the Dolores River in Utah, mountain bike and rock climb in southwest Colorado, and spend time working and learning with Navajo elders on a sheep ranch in the mountains of Arizona.
