One or two crew leaders oversee each crew, teaching new skills and personal responsibility. At the end of the program you and your crew will take a week-long educational hike or canoe trip. There is no tuition for the program. The bulk of the cost of each participant is paid by the hosting agency, and the philanthropic support of individuals and institutions. Food, shelter, and group equipment are provided.
Participants are responsible for their personal gear as well as transportation to and from the site.
Financial aid is available for those demonstrating need.
