This trip is ideal for participants who've completed a 10-day trip with WILD, including their solo ceremony. The Alumni trip will take participants deeper into the wilderness and will include a summit attempt, while building on the foundational wilderness, leadership and personal development practices.
As with every WILD trip, we'll hike, play games, swim in beautiful water, get real around the fire, and have plenty of free time to enjoy the beauty of the Sierras. Building on the core elements of Back to Earth's training - gratitude and mindfulness practices, nature observation, and wilderness skills - participants on a 10-day course will leave with more knowledge and confidence to plan excursions with friends and family.
This trip is designed for teens who are ready to grow into the next, more mature versions of themselves. It will include some solo time for participants to rest in contemplation.
LOCATION: This trip will delve into the heart of the Sierras. We'll begin at an alpine reservoir, and cross through the lands of John Muir Ranch, into some of the most beautiful places in the world between the Ansel Adams and John Muir Wilderness areas. We'll reach high heights in the Range of Light.
