Wilderness Camp, Teen Travel, Wilderness Schools, Summer Youth Programs

Wilderness Ventures has a rich history dating back to 1973, when we led our initial group of ten young adults on an eight-week adventure throughout the Northern Rockies and the Pacific Northwest. As we enter our thirty-fifth summer season, we would like to share with everyone many of the highlights of these remarkable summers now spanning two generations.

Wilderness Ventures History

Yes, it is hard for us to believe that we are now offering our trips to the children of students we led years ago! Whether you are finding us for the first time, you are a recent participant, you are a former leader, or you are now a grown adult with fond memories of that distant summer in your life, we invite you to have fun exploring this section of our web site. We welcome any photos, stories or interesting information you would like to contribute to the following pages.
