6-day, Youth High Country Yosemite Backpacking.
I didn't drop my son off nor pick him up, so I wasn't able to engage with the staff in person, but I'm very happy with everything about the experience. From the registration process, and scholarship help, to the careful attention to safety and ensuring best practices, this operation really covers all the bases and helped us make it happen. I felt very confident that my son would be safe, have a transformative experience, and learn so much. They had wonderful wildlife encounters (all safe!), saw epic canyons and waterfalls, felt exhilarated, and didn't have phones, yes! Best of all, my son and his buddy (both 15 yrs) came back so energized, confident, positive, and ready for more adventures. If you want your child to have a grounding, confidence-building experience that teaches them how to help in a group situation, Leave No Trace wilderness ethics, and how to connect with themselves in one of the most spectacular nature settings on the planet with experienced guides who share their stoke for life, Lasting Adventures is IT!
