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.
