This incredible California adventure is best described as challenging, exciting, and an experience of a lifetime! The students will explore the varied landscape of the Golden State as they backpack among towering Redwoods and through granite cliffs. They will take to the water, where they will whitewater raft the American River and learn to surf at Half Moon Bay. The trip will culminate with a summit attempt of the spectacular snow-capped Mt. Shasta! These 21 days are sure to challenge students, sharpen their backcountry skills, and allow them to build connections with both their peers and with nature!
