Who We Are
The Wild Traveler specializes in summer teen tours to threatened and rapidly changing places. Participants explore and learn about these places through a variety of outdoor activities. Our summer teen tours give our participants a hands on way to learn about the areas natural history, human history, and culture. We strive to create a physically and emotionally safe, fun, and exciting experience while our participants gain a stronger sense of responsibility, independence and several other valuable skills that will help them through high school, college, and beyond. Throughout our teen tours, our leaders will facilitate small group initiatives and a variety of fun games and friendly competitions. As our summer teen tours progress, our participants transform into leaders and form solid lifelong friendships.
