Our expedition begins in the wilds of the Adirondack mountains, in the largest wilderness area east of the rocky mountains. We will backpack our gear and food several miles and make our camps near gorgeous lakes and mountains. There is nothing like making pure wilderness our home! While we will learn and practice new survival skills and learn to leave no trace, this program will mostly focus on the spiritual side of nature and our own journey. If you are up for a challenging hike, listening to loons, watching for eagles and wandering in thick pine forests, this program is the one for you!
