We know that Teens need the freedom to test their limits and explore their sense of self. In our Teens Wilderness Adventure Program, we mix active instruction with experiential learning to inspire teens to challenge themselves with new wilderness skills.
Over four exciting weekends throughout the school year, participants join experienced Pine mentors to:
Explore forests and wild spaces
Learn wilderness skills like shelter-building, fire-making, animal tracking, and safe tool use
Develop confidence and independence through fun, hands-on challenges
Work as a team, share stories, and reflect together around the fire
Each weekend adventure builds skills and friendships, while encouraging teens to grow as leaders and environmental stewards. The program provides a rare chance to unplug, take on real-world challenges, and connect deeply with nature and community.
