"A Pacific Northwest adventure! Summer Ski at Mt. Hood, kayak in the idyllic San Juan Islands and backpack Cascade Mountains. This is a classic multi-sport adventure designed specifically for younger teens.
BACKPACK, KAYAK & BIKE
The goal is fun and success for all as our adventure begins in Olympic National Park with an exhilarating backpack to Lena Lake. Our next stop is the San Juan Islands where we enjoy sea kayaking and biking amidst cool towns, unique ecology, diverse marine life and pristine beaches. While on the Islands we participate in a service project with Moran State Park to help restore impacted areas.
SKIING, SNOWBOARDING AND ROCK CLIMBING
Heading south into Oregon, we travel to Mt Hood to enjoy two days of glacier skiing or snowboarding. Those without skiing or snowboarding experience enjoy horseback riding instead. In North Bend, two fun-filled days of rock climbing teach us how to rappel and top-rope climb.
HIKING IN SNOWFIELDS
Finally, we explore the stunning Northern Cascades on a backpack exploration. The glacial features of this landscape are dazzling. We spend our last days together trekking across wildflower meadows as snowfields glisten on the high peaks above us. This is our highest rated backpack!"
