July 11 - 18, 2025 • Up to 8 Spots!
Overview
Activity details
Imagine spending a week exploring the wonders of Yellowstone National Park—geysers shooting steam into the sky, wildlife roaming freely, and stunning landscapes that seem pulled from another world. This 8-day adventure combines the thrill of hiking, camping, and discovery with the camaraderie of a small group of peers. Teens will visit iconic sites like Old Faithful and the Grand Prismatic Spring, trek through backcountry trails, and sleep under the stars in remote campsites. From observing bison grazing to soaking in Bozeman Hot Springs, every day is packed with moments of awe and connection.
But this trip is more than just outdoor fun—it's about growth. Through hands-on experiences and supportive guidance, teens will gain confidence, develop better communication skills, and learn to navigate the world with greater independence. As they work together to set up camp, share meals, and tackle new challenges, they’ll build lasting friendships and gain a deeper appreciation for the world and their place in it. Whether they're first-time campers or seasoned adventurers, every participant will leave with stories to tell, lessons learned, and memories that will last a lifetime.
