Customized Camping & Backpacking Trips
Families & Groups, Ages 9-17.     Flexible dates & locations.      

If you have a group of people looking for an outdoor adventure, we are here to help make it happen. We create customized camping and  backpacking trips for families and groups. We work with you to develop a program & curriculum to meet your needs. We run custom trips in the mountains of Northern California, along the coastline of California, and inland to the majestic Sierras. We specialize in environmental education, team building & collaboration, and wilderness skills. Contact us today to learn more and see if we can help create the program you're looking for!
*All final trips and routes are dependent upon the continuously evolving National Park Service rules, regulations, and closures as they pertain to COVID-19 and fire restoration efforts. Group size or fee minimums may apply.*
