The Montana Alpine Adventure is our introductory expedition, specifically designed for 14 - 16 year old students. This multi-week adventure focuses on teaching students to be competent in fundamental outdoor skills such as cooking, camping and navigation while developing leadership skills as an individual and as a member of an expeditionary group. Students will be challenged physically, at appropriate levels, and will hike most days with heavy packs in a changing alpine environment. While navigating through mountain terrain, students will engage in lessons about Leave No Trace® camping principles and learn how to work as a team to accomplish common expedition goals. Each student will have an opportunity to be the expedition leader of the day and to use his or her newly acquired leadership skills.
