Jacob loves Adventure Treks! It’s an incredible opportunity for him to find himself, develop his leadership skills, and explore his independence. And we love Adventure Treks! Jacob said this community was amazing and the best one yet. He wishes he could be on an AT trip year-round.

I decided for Emma to return because of the great experience we’ve had with Adventure Treks over the years. I trust that she is well taken care of and exposed to challenges both physically and mentally in a safe environment. She returned with a contagious energy, and she said her community was excellent. She loved the Lost Coast.

My wife Janice and I have been extremely pleased to support Adventure Treks and Camp Pinnacle. Both summer programs have earned a special place in our hearts for the enrichment in basic life values imparted to each of the children during their summer interactions with the highly professional administrative personnel; competent, enthusiastic and well-trained staff; outstanding camp facilities; and challenging outdoor treks. It is our hope that the foundation in outdoor appreciation and leadership skills gained at AT over six years will allow our oldest granddaughter to succeed in a high adventure career of her choice. Our younger granddaughter has a few more years to attend AT and is looking forward to next year in Alaska. Janice and I will continue to support Camp Pinnacle and Adventure Treks as long as the grandchildren request the experience. Given the track record, I believe I will be pleased in sending our grandchildren to Adventure Treks and Camp Pinnacle for the next 15 years.

AT provides amazing relationships with fellow students and instructors and a sense of accomplishment and confidence after completing challenges. The challenges and opportunities for growth students encounter on AT trips are rare in today’s world. Ali pushes herself, gains confidence, and increases her community building skill set every time she immerses herself in the outdoors and experiences an AT adventure.

Nina came back to Adventure Treks because of the caliber of field staff and program direction staff, quality of community created, and ability to engage fully in nature and make it fun. AT helps my daughter discover her best self and helps her have fun at the same time.

Ruby returned to Adventure Treks because I love the independence and confidence that she gains from AT trips! I love it that Ruby meets and bonds with new friends from all over. She also becomes very determined to accomplish the goals that the trips set for her. AT offers new experiences with both people and physical challenges that demonstrate to my daughter that she can do anything she sets her mind to!

Jacob came back to Adventure Treks because he has had the most incredible experiences and has grown so much as a person on his prior trips. This is a life-changing experience for our son. He has developed a tremendous amount of confidence and maturity on his AT trips and he has the best time climbing, paddling, biking, backpacking, cooking, eating and developing new friendships. He described his community as having great instructors, diverse, inclusive, everyone gels, tight-knit.

Adventure Treks is a fun outdoor adventure program that teaches teens responsibility, leadership, support for community and how to be their very best. Mason loves the activities, the community, and the leaders. It inspires him.

Adventure Treks is a great experience for teens today. It opens up their minds beyond technologies. Tyler is being raised by single mother and never gets to do outdoor adventures. Most of his time was spent in a room playing games. Adventure Treks provided that adventure and other skills such as teamwork, social skills, and desire to experience more. Most important, he had FUN! He said his community was “straight up AMAZING!”
