Unforgettable adventures for intrepid teens, ages 13-16.
Led by professional instructors and experts, we set a course in our fleet of watercraft—or in your own handmade kayak—and make our way over Lake Champlain, on the water by day and camping outside each night.
All Expeditions combine advanced paddling, outdoor wilderness skills, and explorations into the ecology, culture, and history of the lake. An enthusiasm for team-focused cooperation, multiple days of paddling and camping, and the great outdoors is required!
