Attention all spirited and adventurous girls! This is a week of rock climbing and fun in the outdoors. Created for girls who love to climb, we will form lasting friendships as we live, laugh, and climb together. We will journey to the eastern flank of the Adirondack Mountains where a secret rock climbing wall beckons, and nearby a perfect place to camp! We will create a wilderness home, and spend the days learning to climb, belay, and rappel. We will climb a mountain peak to see the view below, and in the evenings, we will gather together around the campfire to reflect on our experiences, play games and share stories.

Wild Girls unite! As an adventurous, supportive, and collaborative community, we will embark on a journey full of singing, sunshine, water, and beautiful views. We will backpack through the mountains and down to the river where we will travel by canoe enhancing our paddling skills and ability to read the landscape around us. This rite of passage program is focused on development of willpower and wilderness skills leading up to an experience of independent student travel where they must rely on each other and the skills they’ve learned. Within the enchanting landscape of mountains and rivers we will develop a strong connection to self and to community, building sisterhood and confidence. Throughout the week we will have plenty of time for journaling, crafting, taking long swims, and observing wildlife. This program will feature a brand-new itinerary in 2025!

A call to all boys who wish to become the best that they can be! Join us in meeting a challenge that could change how you grow into a man. During this two-week expedition we will challenge our minds, bodies, and spirits while immersing ourselves in the beauty of the Vermont wilderness. Like the ancient school of the Samurai, we will wake early in the morning with exercises that build our concentration and dexterity, our strength, and our will. The coming expedition will test us. We will carry everything we need on our backs. The mountains and river valleys will be our guides, the wind and the rain our teachers. We will not follow trails but blaze our own way, relying on maps, compasses, and our intuition. At night, we’ll gather around the fire to share wisdom and tell stories. As boys crossing the threshold into manhood, we will experience ceremony, build a joyful community, speak from our hearts, and have an opportunity to be alone in the wilderness. Will you join us?

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!
