The 10-day trip is WILD's foundational backpacking course, and a comprehensive introduction to a wide range of wilderness, leadership and personal development practices.
As with every WILD trip, we'll hike, play games, swim in beautiful water, get real around the fire, and have plenty of free time to enjoy the beauty of the Sierras. Building on the core elements of Back to Earth's training - gratitude and mindfulness practices, nature observation, and wilderness skills - participants on a 10-day course will leave with the knowledge and confidence to start planning their own excursions with friends and family.
This trip is designed for teens who are ready to grow into the next, more mature versions of themselves. What sets this trip apart is the solo ceremony - a time to be alone, to reflect on one's life, and to call in a vision for one's future.
LOCATION: This trip will head into the remote Carson-Iceberg Wilderness. The boys will follow glacial valleys and climb to the high country of the Pacific Crest Trail.
