Expeditions
We offer a number of multi-day wilderness trips in Michigan. When you finish any of our multi-day programs, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the related outdoor recreation discipline. As with our other programs, youth and school groups are eligible for fundraising assistance or sponsorship.
Our expeditions are components of our ongoing research project about wilderness immersion and its impact on physical, mental and social health. We ask attendees to complete confidential research surveys before and after their trip.
