Just 10 minutes from the airport, we return to our headquarters and base camp where we outfit for the course. The backpacking section leaves the next day to explore some of the world's most breathtaking natural environments. We may view eagles, moose, elk, and big horn sheep. While backpacking, we learn the basics of wilderness travel and Trails core curriculum. Our journey takes us glissading on a snowy peak, swimming in an alpine lake, and exploring mountain meadows.
Rock climbing means a change of pace and a change of altitude.
The group spends two days attending the world famous EXUM Climbing School , learning the fundamentals of climbing technique and safety. You need no previous rock climbing experience as we begin with the basics. The climbing instruction leads to more rock climbing in the Tetons. We spend the next couple of days challenging the classic climbs of this incredible range. A feast around a campfire celebrates our unforgettable experience as we enjoy one final sunset over the Tetons.
