Trek

Age Level: Trek is designed for students going into the 7th grade or higher; younger students can attend with a parent if they are at least 9 years old. This is due to the physical requirements of backpacking and also for curriculum/discussion topics.

Chaperones: If you're interested in chaperoning, please sign up and Travis or Joelene will be in touch with you with more details. All chaperones will be required to have a background check completed. Backpacking experience is not required, but you do have to be willing to learn and work as a team!
