Outpost programs serve over 200 teen age youth for extended camping experiences in the wilderness. Through our progressive wilderness tripping program, high school-age youth embark on outdoor adventures ranging from 9 to 45 days, backpacking, canoeing or sea kayaking to locations as beautiful as they are rugged. From the Apostle Islands to the Colorado Rockies to Alaska and the gates of the Arctic, Outpost campers encounter some of the world's most awesome environments that put their own abilities, character and leadership qualities to the test. Financial assistance is available for participants.
All programs drive maintenance needs, additions and repairs along with safety and code guidelines.
