At Deer Hill we provide memorable and meaningful adventures for young people. We enhance your appreciation of the natural world by showing you how to live in some of the wildest and most beautiful places on Earth. In doing so, we share with you our deep knowledge of and respect for these wild lands, and our tradition of Leave No Trace ethics.

Forging real connections with native lands and peoples is at the heart of what we do, and our cross-cultural service projects give you an opportunity to lend a helping hand, and to see life from a very different perspective.

Our expeditions provide an exciting and challenging environment in which you can be an integral member of a tight-knit team and grow as an individual.

“I fully realized how much I appreciate the Deer Hill philosophy. The magic that is interwoven in Deer Hill’s curriculum is a subtle, sometimes overlooked nuance, but an unforgettably important one. I cannot describe the magic that is there, or give it a name, but it is some life-enriching magic.” Erin, Pownal, ME
