Incredible Team with the patience, compassion, and empathy that are required for working with all youth.
Our program is about waking up your child's self esteem, self reliance, and confidence. They learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. We meet everyone where
they are and open the door for them to reach beyond where anyone thought they could go, including themselves. They will be traversing Alaska wilderness; hiking, camping, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and more. We partner with state and federal agencies, as well as with Alaska Native Tribes.
NO OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
Up to 50 Service hours for high school students

Wow! My son was given such unique opportunities to build confidence and push beyond his comfort zone all while being inspired by Alaska's breathtaking beauty during his time with Jeremy and his team.
They expertly guided a group of seven boys, ranging in age from 15-18, and created a tight-knit band of adventurers who supported and encouraged each other to rise to every exciting challenge placed before them. These boys kayaked, went ice-climbing, backpacked, fished..., camped ... saw incredible wildlife, and learned so many outdoor and survival skills. My son said, "It felt like an Alaska only Jeremy knew about!"
I am extremely grateful to Jeremy and his team for providing such a life-changing experience for my son that has had a powerful impact on the young adult he is becoming

Life-Changing Adventure
Jeremy and his team created a once-in-a-lifetime, life-changing adventure for our son. From stunning encounters with wildlife to confidence-building challenges like ice climbing, the trip was something he will never-ever forget.
Jeremy’s expertise in the Alaska environment allows him to take people way beyond the expected and into truly life changing terrain and experiences. Cannot recommend enough.

Jeremy and his team are true experts of adventure! They crafted an extraordinary journey that created cherished memories. People can expect a variety of experiences such as hiking through National Parks, halibut and salmon fishing, and climbing glaciers. It was also a great cultural experience for the boys to do community service with a Native Alaskan tribe. The group saw many of the staple Alaskan wildlife creatures such as whales, moose, bears, and even orcas! Jeremy’s ability to plan and execute such magical experiences is second to none. This unforgettable expedition has set the bar incredibly high for the future. I can’t think of a better trip for teens becoming young adults.
