Summer Adventure Programs

Think Outside: No BOX REQUIRED.

"Why don't I do that more often?" Think about it, the feeling at the end of a full day spent in the outdoors... Fresh from the mountain air and sun drenched, a warm wave of fatigue washes over you and you realize, there really is no substitute for being outdoors. Paddle a raft through a canyon gorge filled with frothy whitewater, sea kayak through a majestic fjord, hike a snow-covered peak, or build a sandcastle on the tallest dunes in North America.

I realized that only when you take a challenging opportunity and you broaden your horizons do you gain the most invaluable knowledge." - Cynthia P., Participant

Take a chance--step outside, and join us for a full measure of adventure and challenge in some of the world’s most breathtaking places on earth and you just might find the lessons learned on a windswept bluff are often as important as those conveyed in a high school classroom. On a RLT teen summer adventure travel program you'll look better, feel stronger, and breathe a little easier. Guaranteed.

Iceland, Europe - Nordic Elements

There's nothing quite like a good road trip, especially when it takes you past active volcanoes, bright blue icebergs, roaring waterfalls, and a place where elves are respected. Iceland is a country of sharp contrasts, where fire and ice coexist along with the summer's midnight sun. From Reykjavik to UNESCO-listed Thingvellir National Park to the idyllic Frioheimar Greenhouse Cultivation Center and everywhere in between, we see all this magical country has to offer. Don't forget your camera as this journey is made for photography!
