How To Choose

Selecting a Wilderness Ventures summer adventure is actually a lot easier than you may think. There are four questions you need to ask: Where do I want to adventure? What activities do I prefer? How long can I go? How much challenge do I want? If you're uncertain about your readiness for a particular trip, just give us a call. Before you decide, though, we strongly suggest you select the longest program you can fit into your schedule.

 

 


 

Our 37 years of experience have proven that most participants wish they could have extended their stay with us.

 

Leadership Adventures  


Conducted for the past 37 years, these classic adventures range from two to six weeks and offer varying degrees of challenge in a variety of outdoor environments. You don’t need prior experience for any program. If you do have experience, you’ll still find challenging offerings. Backcountry trips range from four to eight days, depending on the program.

 

Leadership Expeditions


Ranging from two to four weeks in length, these wonderful expeditions offer a high degree of challenge and are conducted in only one or two environments with backcountry trips ranging from eight to thirteen days. They are open to both beginning and experienced students seeking extended wilderness travel with a thorough focus on outdoor skills.

 

International Adventures


These exciting adventures range from three to four weeks, offering varying degrees of challenge in a variety of exotic wilderness and outdoor environments around the globe. They are excellent choices for both beginners and experienced students who thrive on outdoor adventure and cultural immersion.

 

Community Service Adventures


Obtain sixty to eighty hours of community service by working with native populations and assisting in environmental projects while adventuring in some of the most spectacular outdoor settings found in North America and abroad.

 

Age and Compatibility Groupings

Because we conduct most trips in multiple sections, you will always be grouped for age compatibility. Several of our programs offer special sections for students finishing the 7th and 8th grades. High school students are also grouped according to age. And we will not place a thirteen or fourteen-year-old in a group of sixteen and seventeen-year-olds just to fill a group.
