Adventure Challenge Levels
Adventure challenge levels are intended as general guides, not guarantees. Every Wilderness Adventures trip includes physical activity, outdoor living, and opportunities to step outside your comfort zone. Weather, route conditions, group dynamics, and other factors may affect the overall challenge of a particular program.
Approach
A great place to begin your journey with Wilderness Adventures. These trips are designed for students who are excited to explore, learn new outdoor skills, and build confidence. While participants should come ready for active days and a positive attitude toward challenge, no extensive outdoor experience is expected.
Milestone
Designed for students ready to take the next step. These trips generally include longer days, additional backcountry travel, or more physically and mentally demanding activities. Prior outdoor experience can be helpful, but enthusiasm, resilience, and a willingness to embrace challenge are the most important qualities.
Summit
Our most ambitious adventures. These programs feature extended backcountry expeditions, technical objectives, or sustained physical and mental challenges. They are best suited for students who are eager for a significant adventure, are comfortable with uncertainty, and are prepared to work hard alongside their team.
