Adirondack Mountain Expedition
Sun Jun 22 - Sat Jul 12, 2025
(21 days)
Ages 15 - 18

NEW IN 2025!
Just across Lake Champlain lie the legendary Adirondack Mountains - a park bigger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, and Rocky Mountain National Parks combined. On this brand-new expedition we’ll paddle past otter slides on the Raquette River and climb into the Alpine Zone on Giant Mountain. We’ll bike along the Adirondack Rail Trail, canoe lake-to-river along an ancient trade route, and climb the iconic 2,000ft slabs at Chapel Pond. We’ll get to live The Dirty Life for a day on Essex Farm, and finish strong by rafting through the Class IV Hudson River Gorge. But first, we need to form a team: beginning at Kroka with expedition preparation and pre-trip jobs, we will tune our bikes, pack our backpacks and tie down our canoes. We will carve spoons, practice campfire cooking, and help take care of Kroka’s farm animals. All this helps to forge a close-knit community where each member of the group has an essential role on the expedition. With four elements and just three weeks, this is a true multi-element adventure and sure to be one of the most exciting expeditions of the summer!

No Brakes
Sun Jul 6 - Sat Jul 12, 2025
(7 days)
Ages 11 - 13

Join us in discovering the adventure of backcountry bikepacking! After tuning up our bikes and practicing riding techniques on Kroka’s bike course, we will head into the forest for a week filled with spectacularly wild mountain bike adventures. The rich history of New Hampshire has left our forests full of wondrous dirt trails alongside abandoned root cellars, mines, and wilderness lakes. We will return to Kroka for campfire meals and cozy dwellings during the first half of the week. Our next adventure will be a two-day overnight expedition. Each day will include discovering and playing in wild swimming holes, games, and evening stories by the campfire. In addition to technical riding, students will learn how to take care of their bikes and participate in community service projects. This introductory program is excellent preparation for our Mountain Bike Expeditions!

Bikes, Swimming Holes, and Canoes
Sun Jul 20 - Sat Aug 2, 2025
(14 days)
Ages 13 - 15

A 30th Anniversary Classic with a Brand New Itinerary
This unique adventure links together secret swimming holes, hidden campsites, and mountain views by a network of bike trails and dirt roads. Bike travel means hair blowing in the summer breeze, seeing the beauty of the landscape flow by, and the rewarding feeling of arriving at the top of the hill. For the first half of the week our bikes become our homes, fitted with frame bags, front loaders, fork and saddle bags, 29” wheels, and 12-speed cassettes. Then we switch to canoes, where the current carries us downstream and the reward of every day is a swim in the river.   The journey takes us from the base of Mt. Monadnock across New Hampshire to Wontastaquiet, the “Mountain at the Place of the Lost River.” Along the way we will go rock climbing, descend into an abandoned mine, scramble through a rocky gorge, and bike on miles of wooded trails.

Wilderness Adventures for Girls - Session III - "Bike Girls"
Sun Aug 3 - Sat Aug 9, 2025
(7 days)
Ages 11 - 13

Wilderness Adventures for Girls is open to female-identified and non-binary participants.

Come join the "Bike Girls" as we journey boldly into wild places!  Using the hills of Vermont and New Hampshire as our home, we will live, play, laugh, and learn the beauty of riding our bicycles, all the while experiencing the magic of being together in nature, crafting with our own two hands, and sleeping under the stars. We will practice biking skills, navigate the forest roads and single-tracks, and learn to fix our own bikes, taking home with us new skills as bike mechanics. In the evenings we gather around the fire to share stories and to set our intentions for tomorrow’s adventures. We will come away from this expedition with lasting friendships and be empowered to use our new riding muscles to face the challenges and experience the beauty of the world!

No previous mountain biking experience is necessary.
