Our Advanced Leadership Expeditions are designed for former students who want to concentrate their activity in fewer areas over extended periods of time. We will only permit friends in the same group if we are sure the friendship will not diminish the experience of the other group members. Our enrollment is more diverse than any similar appearing program, with equal representation from the east, south, midwest, and far west, and this is why we publish our complete reference list in our catalog each year. Since we conduct multiple sections of every expedition, we are able to group our students according to age. Since our trips are all coed, we also make certain, through quotas, that both genders are sufficiently represented.
Every trip has both male and female leaders.
A. None of our trips are too difficult for anyone in average physical condition, who is not overweight and is enthusiastic about participating. If you have a question about the appropriateness of a particular expedition for you, please give us a call. We will teach you the necessary skills of backpacking, whitewater rafting, wilderness living, mountaineering, sea kayaking, canoeing, or bicycling, depending on which trip you enroll in. All you will need is the desire to accomplish these activities. On all our trips, basic wilderness skills are taught, including first aid, navigation, sound expedition planning and low impact camping.
