| Description |
The
Road Less Traveled is a teen summer community service, language and
adventure travel program that offers an opportunity for young people to
engage in a service of presence and active listening in the world. We
encourage involvement and cultivate leadership, excellence, openness and
sensitivity, initiative, communal participation, social activism and
environmentalism.
You
may build a school or medical outpost in Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador,
Peru, Tanzania or Namibia, work on environmental projects, restore coral
reef in the Florida Keys, save monk seals in Hawaii, work with wolves in
Colorado or volunteer in aiding disaster relief victims. We travel to
Norway, crossing the entire country kayaking, rafting, biking and hiking
and offer formal language coursework in Costa Rica, Ecuador or Spain. We
travel to the Himalayas, kayak between the skyscrapers of Chicago,
restore rivers and work with local farmers in Michigan, and provide aid
to those effected by Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf oil spill. We offer
surfing, rock climbing, snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking, whitewater
rafting, SCUBA PADI lessons and certifications, backpacking, ice and
snow mountaineering. There are also specialized programs in leadership,
Wilderness First Responder Certification, Family and Spring Break
programs and Global Perspectives travel for young people grades 6 - 8.
You will contribute, learn and return home with a life changing travel
experience to remember. |
