Thank you to all. Our 2011 Adventure Treks season ended on Monday and we can now officially say thank you for a great year! It feels like it’s been our best year in a long time. I know it seems like forever since you left your friends and your instructors, but we haven’t stopped. This […]
We remain in full swing at Adventure Treks. Our twelfth school program of the fall is in the woods. We have two more programs next week. It’s been non-stop since May and I will admit, all of us are excited for November and the chance to take some personal time, but we still have work […]
Today, Tuesday Sept 6th is a huge day in our 18 year Adventure Treks history! Today we begin a long term lease of Camp Pinnacle. This is an 84 year old summer camp with a rich history located on a 126 acre wooded campus just a mile from our office. It has a beautiful 20 […]

I am certain you have seen the media coverage on the bear attack on a National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) Group of teenagers up in the wilds of Alaska. I know it made parents of any student still in the outdoors with us a bit nervous. The good news is that everyone will fully recover. […]
Greetings from another Delta Jet! I have loved meeting hundreds of students from 11 different trips since I last wrote. I may recount some of these adventures later. I remain incredibly impressed with our Adventure Treks students and instructors this summer. We are having a lot of fun! Who knows summer may have finally come […]
There is never a typical day at Adventure Treks! I write this from 30,000 ft on a Delta Jet, eventually heading to Sacramento to greet the incoming California Challenge 2 students who begin their Adventure Treks experience tomorrow. Then it’s a night flight to Alaska to welcome our Alaska 2 students. Today we have 238 […]
