Our goal is for groups to fully immerse in their outdoor adventure, so we intentionally limit communication with parents to allow students to focus on the present experience and build independence and resilience. While students are welcome to bring phones for traveling to and from Adventure Treks, and for a few designated calls home (when they arrive on opening day, about midway through the trip, and on the last night), their phones will be turned off and stored for safekeeping otherwise. No phones or social media at Adventure Treks!
Our instructors will take photos and videos throughout the trip, which the office will provide to families. Because of the wilderness nature of our trips, there are limitations regarding the frequency of updates and the number and size of photos sent to the office. Written updates will be emailed to families, while photos and videos will be uploaded directly to an online album. Students are welcome to bring a camera to take their own photos!
Of course, if there is an emergency or you need to contact your child right away during the trip, you can call us, and we will get your child to a phone as quickly as possible. There is an administrator on-call 24/7, and we are in touch with each of our groups daily.
