Leadership Expeditions

These wonderful expeditions are the perfect choice for both the experienced outdoor adventurer and the athletic novice seeking extended wilderness travel with the strongest focus on outdoor skills.
 

Victoria Isaacs

Ridgeland, MS
Trips as a Student: Washington Mountaineering, Alaska Southcentral, Cascade Olympic, Yellowstone, Alaska College Leadership

"I went on my first Wilderness Ventures trip in 8th grade. Even though I didn't have any outdoor experience, my trip was amazing. The two-week adventure made me physically and emotionally stronger. I became awesome friends with my trip mates, and we became a little family as we learned to kayak, backpack and cook together. Since then, I've come back every summer for the past five years. Each trip with Wilderness Ventures has taught me not only how to be self-sufficient and independent, but also how to coexist with others and work as a team. I am so thankful to Wilderness Ventures for making my summers a little more vibrant and a lot more exciting!"

Our Leadership Expeditions offer extended backcountry experiences for students completing the 8th through 12th grades.

 

If you have had a previous experience with Wilderness Ventures or with another outdoor school or program, here is your opportunity to focus on an activity you enjoy, to learn new skills, and to refine the skills you already have acquired. If you are new to wilderness travel but are athletic, rest assured that you will not have missed a beat. We start with the basics for each trip so you will catch up to the
others quickly.


Why These Trips Are Unique

Because of our vast and unequalled number of federal land use permits, we can offer fabulous programming and can adventure in places other companies can’t go.


What You Need to Provide

All you need to bring is a backpack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, hiking boots, personal clothing and lots of enthusiasm. (We offer backpack, sleeping bag and sleeping pad rentals for most programs.)
