Each Teen Expedition focuses on developing outdoor skills and awareness of the natural world as you learn through experience, active involvement and discovery. While out on the trail or river, the group journeys each day to a new campsite where they sleep in 2 or 4 person tents. When not out on the trail or river, teens stay in screen houses or platform tents at the Poor Farm base camp.
All trips are appropriate for beginners except where noted in the descriptions.
Backpacks are provided upon request free of charge. Swift water in easy to navigate Class I and II rapids adds a gentle thrill and exciting challenge for those interested in improving their canoe strokes and safe paddling skills. Learn how to read a river, portage around obstacles, cook on a camp stove and pack a canoe. Have fun as you canoe along the river to a new campsite each night. Your group will get to know each other through group building activities as you begin your week.
