THIS SUMMER…

Step into an awe-inspiring world.

Adventure Treks is more than a summer camp—it’s an exceptional, life-changing journey for teens ages 13–18. Since 1993, we’ve helped thousands of students grow into more confident, capable, and self-assured young adults through spectacular outdoor adventure. Along the way, teens build lifelong friendships within inclusive communities, discover their best selves, and gain essential life skills like leadership, teamwork, resilience, and independence. 

With an extremely high return rate, the best student-to-instructor ratio in the industry, and a focus on fun, tight-knit communities, and personal growth, Adventure Treks creates unforgettable memories and an impact that lasts far beyond the summer.

Testimonial 1

“This is the kind of experience I wish every child could have—being outside without technology and learning to be responsible for oneself and for the well-being of the community, with the kind and patient support of instructors who are knowledgeable and fun-loving. In Zev’s own words: ‘I learned that I can just be myself and that there are people out there who will like me for who I am.’ Zev had the time of his life. He made terrific friends, loved being outside and away from technology, and just got a chance to have fun and be silly.”

Janna Levin, parent from Winston Salem, NC

“Friendships are the reason I come back to AT. The people make every backpack and moment valuable and joyful. My experiences have taught me to be more independent when it comes to planning trips, and they have fueled my passion to spend more time outdoors.”

Jorge, student from the Dominican Republic

Testimonial 3

“My daughter absolutely loved every moment of her trip. So much so that as soon as she entered the house, we planned and booked her next summer with AT! The staff at AT were very caring, resourceful, and prompt in communicating. They gave kids all the opportunities to connect with nature and experience the true outdoor adventure keeping the safety in mind. My daughter enjoyed all her kayaking, biking, hiking, and sleeping under the stars. It tested her physical and emotional strengths and she learned a lot, which a home-bound, screen-scrolling life would never give. I am so grateful to you all!”

Alka Bhardwaj, parent from Cary, NC

“My experiences at Adventure Treks have taught me that pushing past my comfort zone will help me grow, that I am stronger than I think I am, and that I can learn something new, even when I’ve done an activity before, especially from other people. AT is one of my favorite places to be—this is my fourth trip, and I’m so glad I have kept coming back, because I feel like it gets better every time.”

Greta, student from CA
