Leadership Through Adventure
Program Description
Ages: 15 - 17 Duration: 7 Days (Sun-Sat) Price: $1,550
While all Trailmark Expeditions help develop outdoor, communication, and leadership skills, there comes a time when some adventurers would like to lead their own trips. With the Adirondacks as our setting, the Leadership Through Adventure program helps build strong outdoor leaders, focusing on the instruction techniques and hard skills necessary to lead an outdoor expedition of your own. LTA is specifically designed to develop leadership skills in young adults through experiential education. You will be challenged to plan and lead segments of this exciting and challenging adventure. Safety will be your primary concern and you learn how to ensure it in a wilderness context. Along the way you will backpack, paddle canoes, and explore one of the eastern Adirondacks most unique cave systems. You will come away a stronger leader with a heightened sense of self-confidence! This expedition is more than outdoor skills, rather a "leadership development program" that serves as preparation for college, work, and future outdoor adventures. Enrollment is limited to 8 participants to ensure an effective learning environment.
