Adirondack Multi-Element
Sun Jul 5 - Sat Jul 18, 2026
(14 days)
Ages 14 - 16
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 jam-packed expedition we’ll bikepack and mountain bike along the Adirondack Rail Trail, canoe lake-to-river along an ancient trade route and experience world class hiking.  We'll get to live The Dirty Life for a day on Essex Farm. But first, we need to form a team beginning at Kroka with expedition preparation and pre-trip jobs, we will tune our bikes 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 two weeks, this is a true multi-element adventure and sure to be one of the most exciting expeditions of the summer!

Bikes, Swimming Holes, and Canoes
Sun Jul 19 - Sat Aug 1, 2026
(14 days)
Ages 13 - 15

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.

Caves, Cliffs and Waterfalls
Sun Jul 26 - Sat Aug 1, 2026
(7 days)
Ages 11 - 13

Don't miss this unique adventure that combines rock climbing and underground exploration! Our expedition begins with a hike to an impressive rock face hidden deep in the woods. After a day and a half of climbing, we will continue our hike, ending at a spectacular waterfall. Refreshed by plunging into crystal clear pools it is time for caving! We will search the woods for caverns that take us deep into the glittering underground world. As we gain experience, we will scurry through tunnels, wade through underground streams, and witness beautiful rock formations that showcase millions of years of geologic history. To wash off the cave mud, we will spend our afternoons swimming in a mountain river and at our wilderness camp learning to live in harmony with nature.  Each day concludes with campfire stories and songs.
