Our Student Service Adventures vary from 16 to 22 days and are conducted in the most spectacular natural environments around the glob and in the American West. Student Service Adventures allow teenage students to earn between 40 and 80 hours of teen community service while interspersing a wide range of outdoor adventure activities. All of our substantive student service adventures connect teenage students with their environment and culture and engage in integrated and fun outdoor adventure activities.

All Student Service Adventures are conducted in small groups of well-supervised teenage students in a nurturing and supportive environment. If a service adventure group is traveling to a Spanish-speaking destination, such as our student service opportunities in Costa Rica, Peru and Ecuador, students will engage in introductory language instruction and have the chance to apply their newfound Spanish language skills throughout the service adventure.

Wilderness Ventures has been conducting outdoor adventures since 1973, longer than any student service adventure program out there. Our service project on this first summer adventure involved planning native shrubs on the shoreline of Image Lake in the Glacier Peak Wilderness. Today, our student service adventures and teen community service programs engage in meaningful service work in Hawaii, Alaska, the Yellowstone Region and the American Southwest. Internationally, our student service adventures travel to both Central and South America, as well as Fiji.
