Enrollment is limited to only six per expedition .
A diversified curriculum allows the student to learn different levels of skills concluding with the summit attempt of Mt. Shasta. Two expert wilderness guides and support personnel will provide direct supervision and instruction throughout. TWA is basically a wilderness school that combines both a mountaineering and personal growth curriculum. We do not use confrontational techniques but maintain a friendly and trust-building environment where student and teacher freely interact with a common purpose in mind. We provide a forum by means of group interaction, workshops, and journal writing so each student will have the opportunity to assess his life journey, attitudes, family and peer relationships and world view.
