Two weeks, countless miles, new skills, and plenty of adventure later, our newest Trip Leaders have officially completed Orientation!🥳💯👏🏽🎓

Over the past two weeks, they’ve challenged themselves, learned new skills, practiced leadership, navigated unfamiliar terrain, solved problems as a team, and grown both individually and together. From long days on the trail to campfire debriefs, they've put in the hard work needed to prepare for a summer of guiding and mentoring young adventurers.

We're incredibly proud of how much they've learned and the confidence, resilience, and leadership they've developed along the way.

Now, the countdown is on! We can't wait to welcome our first campers this Sunday and kick off another summer of adventure, growth, and unforgettable memories. Here's to an amazing season ahead! ☀️🏕️🥾
