Every August, 10 high schoolers get an outdoor expedition opportunity of backcountry backpacking, canoeing, and kayaking in places like New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.

Our goal is for the youth to have real hands-on experience with wilderness survival, develop leadership skills, work on team building, and have affordable access to outdoor recreational activities. 

​

In partnership with the Appalachian Mountain Club program, Youth Mountain Adventure Program, we collaborate in planning and organizing an expedition that challenges the youth physically, mentally, and emotionally. 

​

For one month, the participants train through day hikes at nearby state parks, kayaking in the city harbor, canoeing at state parks, and attending weekly meetings for planning and prep.

It's an adventure of a lifetime!
