Personal Attention for Parents and Students

“Every camp placement organization I spoke with let me know that this was hands-down the favorite camp.   The level of organization and professionalism was amazing.  My child really grew on this trip."

About Adventure Treks

 “When I first read the Adventure Treks brochure and imagined myself going on five-day backpacks, summitting mountains, and scaling rock faces, I thought ‘no way.’ But the best decision of my life so far was to sign up for the trip because it changed me as a person. It will definitely be the best summer of your life.”
Arun Janssens, student from Tokyo, Japan

 

Summit snow-capped peaks you’ve only seen on postcards. Get soaked shooting towering rapids with your new friends. Live out of your backpack on wildflower laced trails. Sleep under stars that you never knew existed, cook-up crazy concoctions, and laugh more than you ever have before.

 

Adventure Treks is all about making memories, making friendships, and making more confident young men and women through amazing outdoor adventures. Sometimes it is not easy to convince young people to take a risk and escape their comfortable lives at home. But the world to be discovered with Adventure Treks is better, more playful, and infinitely more fun than the one left behind. Our students witness scenery that takes their breath away. They become a contributor and a central figure in a close community. They make friendships that last long beyond the trip. Here they truly discover themselves and are impressed with who they see.

We have put our heart and soul and over 30 years of experience into Adventure Treks. When we first started, we never could have imagined that so many people would consider Adventure Treks their second home. There is a reason students return year after year (our return rate is three times that of any similar program) and a reason Adventure Treks students share a bond and mind set that lasts long beyond the summer.

So please talk to our references, former students and their parents, to hear first hand about the difference Adventure Treks made in their lives. And please speak with us personally so we can get to know your family and share our goals, which include:

  • Safety
  • Fun and exciting adventure
  • Personal growth
  • Development of a close community
  • Immersion in and appreciation of the North American landscape
  • Outdoor and leadership skills

We would like the opportunity to give your children a summer they will talk about for the rest of their lives!

Sincerely,

Dock, Kyndra, Dmac, Holly, Alice and the Adventure Treks Instructor Team

“When my friends ask about Adventure Treks, my first response is ‘the best three weeks of my life, by far.’ I love all the kids I met on the trip. I made 20 new best friends from all around the world, while doing some pretty amazing stuff that I would never get to do elsewhere!”
Madeline Stewart, student from Houston, TX

 

“Imagine sitting on your couch jammin’ away at Guitar Hero for hours at a time. Now try to imagine hiking with your friends along a beach, summitting a mountain you never thought you could, and flying down a class four rapid with a paddle in your hand. That is the Adventure Treks lifestyle. So what are you doing?”
Scott Garver, student from Boise, ID
