The Best Summer of his life. All he wants for xmas this year is the ability to attend Adventure treks the following summer. Communication & feedback was amazing
How did your child describe the community on the Adventure?

The camp was a defining experience and helped out our child's growth at so many levels

What a GREAT place to send your kid! My son had an absolute ball and could not quit talking about the great people and how much he learned. He was ready to set out again almost as soon as he got home!
–Kelly Tyler, Templeton, CA

He seems to have more self confidence and awareness that there is more to the world than just his high school environment, a lesson we have been trying to teach for years he learned in three weeks.
-Michael and Christina Lynch, Felton, PA

Christopher had the time of his life.
-Sue Mackie, Shelburne Falls, MA

It was absolutely wonderful! With Adventure Treks, he met new friends, tried tons of new things and for the first time, did it all on his own.
-Caroline Brokaw Tucker, New Canaan, CT

I would describe my child’s experience as simply amazing....varied experience in sports, excellent supplies provided, nice social connection, great collaboration of the leaders involved, meaningful group discussions, great food!!! My communication with the White Mountain and / or Adventure Treks office by phone and email during the school year was...WOW! In communicating w/ Ben Mirkin, I always came away with a sense of "things were taken care of". Ben was informed, helpful and sensitive to my needs as a parent. My concerns were addressed and my daughter, Kaitlyn did come back from the 3week experience anticipating her next!!

“I expected this trip to be like any other camp.  I expected to eat bad food, hike and go to bed.  It was NOTHING like that.  This was sooo much more than just a camp.  It was a life changing experience.” 
-Julia Freidland, 13, Venice, CA

It was way better and people were even more friendly than I thought they would be.  Loved the instructors and students!  Activities were super fun!
– Kelsey Kahn, 15, Fair Lawn, NJ

Patrick’s experience was wonderful and better than we expected. He quickly made friends with children from around the world and they still keep in touch. The counselors were very professional and had an obvious love and respect for the outdoors. We loved how adventure treks emphasize love of community as well as nature. He returned from this camp a more confident and mature young man. He can't wait for his next adventure in 2010 we thank u very much
–Kathleen Mahoney, Nyack, NY

Julia enjoyed herself even more than she thought she would and grew in confidence and competence even more than I hoped she would. A wonderful experience led by truly exceptional teachers.
– Victoria Godfrey, Venice, CA

It was a great experience and a departure from a traditional camp experience. It was more interactive and more emphasis was placed on developing character skills through the various activities.
– Katherine Finnegan, Omaha, Nebraska

My son found this a very positive experience. He learned a lot, enjoyed the other participants, appreciated the kindness and wisdom of the instructors. It was a highlight of his summer.
- Elizabeth Wright, Lexington, MA

Hannah had the best camp experience so far in her life. she felt a sense of transformation in that she was challenged and rose to the challenge and felt very good about that. Overall, my child's experience was Exceptional. Hannah was inspired by the experience as well as by the counselors and wants to do a different Adventure Treks experience next year(Montana or Alaska). -
Maia Kikerpilll, Dobbs Ferry, NY

I felt Extremely Safe with my child as part of this adventure. I say extremely safe because I know the risks were controlled and that kids were allowed to experience real risk, but in a safety-conscious environment with very highly trained staff. I understand that kids were in fact *not* extremely safe (thankfully), but the objective hazards were understood by staff, imparted to kids, and handled properly. Well done.
