Adventure Treks operates 13- to 30-day wilderness-based programs in British Columbia, Alaska, California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, North Carolina, Scotland, Norway, and Peru. Instructors lead and teach backpacking, rock climbing, mountain biking, canoeing, cooking, orienteering, Leave No Trace concepts, and general environmental education. Other specialized skills like whitewater rafting and kayaking will be taught in conjunction with outfitters.
On each program, the four- to six-person instructor team works closely together to coordinate all aspects of the trip, including instruction in all outdoor activities, risk management, driving 15-passenger vans and towing U-Haul trailers, managing group dynamics, planning menus, purchasing food, laundry, coordinating with outfitters, turning in blog and photo updates, maintaining equipment, and handling medical issues. Instructors receive additional ongoing support from the director team.
