Teen Trek Groups


Our groups are small, cooperative, challenging, and fun! Each trip usually has 8-12 trippers and 2 leaders. We plan our trips to be co-ed, though occasional imbalances occur because of the patterns of sign-ups. Our leaders are not tour guides or riding tape recorders of facts. Rather, they are capable adults who are just as excited as you are about the trips. We consider a sense of fun and discovery much more valuable to a trip than past knowledge of an area. Often a leader is exploring a place for the first time too, and everyone finds the sharing of adventure more complete. Group decisions are encouraged whenever possible, with a leader assuming a guiding rather than authoritative role.
