Adolescent Programs
Adolescent programs immerse students in nature, help them build self-confidence and consideration for others, and ultimately support a younger generation of environmentally conscious and confident individuals.
How it works
Travel from Home to Wrangell, Alaska
Fly from home to Wrangell, Alaska- serviced multiple times daily by Alaska Airlines.
Your guides will pick you up at the airport, and shuttle you to your lodging.
Prepare for your Adventure
After you arrive, we will spend the night in Wrangell preparing for the expedition.
You will be outfitted with any items and clothes you were unable to bring with you from home.
10 Days in the Wild
We are transported by jet-boat from Wrangell to one of our backcountry base-camps for our first night.
You will learn paddling skills to help prepare you for the upcoming expedition, and get used to using all your camp equipment.
After we leave our base-camp, you will spend the rest of the trip paddling and exploring Southeast Alaska.
Return Home
On our last day, we are picked up by the jet-boat, and transported back to Wrangell.
Catch a flight home that evening, or spend the night in Wrangell and travel home the following day.
