Youth Wilderness Programs
 Have
Back to Earth take your students or group on an inspiring
outdoor experience this year!
We provide exciting and educational backpacking journeys for
youth of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. Our
youth programs focus on providing leadership and learning
opportunities that are not available in the classroom or at
home.
We realize that youth today are faced with many challenges
in their every day world, including peer pressure, low self-esteem,
and overly busy lives.
Our programs strive to deal with these challenges by providing
students with experiences that open their eyes to a larger
world around them, and to realize that they are valuable human
beings with tremendous potential.
To achieve these goals, we teach students necessary skills
and how to work together to successfully complete their journey
in the mountains. To enhance the experience, we incorporate
group and individual challenges that develop self awareness,
spark significant personal growth, and build confidence.
We strongly believe that the experience must be fun to be
successful! In this way we make sure to give students the
chance to spend quality time outdoors, away from their usual
lives, and to have a great time!
The power of our youth programs is immeasurable. They have
a significant impact not only on the students who participate,
but on Back to Earth staff as well. We are always inspired
by the incredible experiences we share during these journeys,
they are the seeds that change lives.
“For the past two years Back to Earth has provided our
inner-city high school students with an exciting and transformative
week in the mountains. Due to their excellent organization
and guidance, this experience will remain with them for the
rest of their lives!” ~ Marshall Lott, College Track
