Global adventure begins here.
Our outdoor skills and adventure programs will challenge you like nothing has before, and show you stuff that most teens your age have never even dreamed of. Imagine snorkeling at a 1000-foot wide sinkhole off the coast of Belize, which reef sharks and giant grouper call home. Or trekking through lush jungles in Costa Rica and rappelling down massive waterfalls, en route to your first of two rafting expeditions. In small groups, led by expert naturalists and outdoor guides, we’ll give you the opportunity to master new skills, earn certifications and explore the outdoors in a way that’s unlike your typical wilderness or summer camp. In Panama, we live in cabins on an uninhabited beach in Coiba National Park where we explore secret surf breaks and snorkel with whales. Or in Australia, home to the world famous Great Barrier Reef, we dive with turtles and giant parrotfish amid towering pinnacles, through brilliant coral gardens and into underwater caverns. On any of these trips, the thrills are nonstop and best of all, no experience is necessary.
Below you’ll find a list of outdoor skill building & adventure programs, all of which include community service hours and the opportunity earn globally recognized certifications such as PADI, IYT and Wilderness First Responder (WFR).
