your skill that guides you through that last standing wave of the rapids, or your creativity that results in a delicious meal for all. You will also derive satisfaction knowing that it is through your cooperating spirit that everyone in the group is able to accomplish their day-to-day goals.
Our expeditions offer a wide range of challenge, from moderate to demanding. Regardless of the trip you choose, you need not be a "super person," but you should be in average physical condition, not overweight, and have a strong desire to accomplish all of the activities on your expedition. Except for our advanced leadership expeditions, most of the students who enroll have had no previous experience. If you possess both desire and determination, you will achieve unparalleled success on any expedition you choose.
If you join us you should know that at times you will have to make sacrifices. You may find yourself rising before sunrise with frost on your sleeping bag, or cooking and eating an occasional meal in the rain or sleet. There probably won’t be a hot shower when you’ll most want one. There may be times when you will need to sacrifice your personal desires in lieu of a group decision. If you are the type of person who is flexible and willing to make sacrifices, the summer will more than meet your greatest expectations.
You can expect the summer to be a time to pursue your own interests. There will be plenty of opportunities to share your feelings with good company around a fire, or to collect your thoughts in a flower-strewn meadow with billowing clouds overhead. There will be time to do what you want to do: photograph or sketch the many natural wonders around you, swim in an emerald lake, study the natural world, or explore a canyon or ridge where few people have ever walked. If you are looking for a challenging summer, adventure, good friendships and fun in an atmosphere where you can be yourself, then Wilderness Ventures is for you.
