Older teens are on the last step of youth readying for their next journey of adulthood.
These courses for 16-18 year old teens are designed to challenge their readiness for becoming independent and leaders of their own paths. We know our students are making preparations for the next step: university, military, trades, travel; and we aim to help them prepare for this with much more than just the “fun” of a typical summer camp experience.
Our courses in adventure, survival, backpacking, climbing and rigging will assist them in developing the independence they need to lead teams and to find their place in a team – wherever their path leads.
Courses for ages 16-18
We started these programs to reach all teens with an interest – we don’t want cost to be a barrier to entry. Thanks to a 2024 grant from MICA Guides we have the funds for 50 students to get a $250 scholarship to join one of our courses.
