Experience the thrill of
dune jumping (photos really impress your friends!) and an
exciting jet boat ride on the beautiful Rogue River. In California,
you cycle through enormous Redwood trees and hike to
a Star Wars filming location! On the Klamath River, big raft
or inflatable kayak rides are followed by hiking and swimming
in waterfall pools.
Your West Coast Adventure is topped
off by two days in San Francisco and you'll marvel at the
Golden Gate Bridge as you cycle across it! Shop at the open
air markets at Fisherman's Wharf, take the ferry to Alcatraz,
walk up (or down) steep, steep Lombard Street, ride the cable
cars, shop and eat (delicious chocolate bars from Ghirardelli,
Chinatown's restaurants, and great Mexican munchies)! | 2012 Dates | Finishing Grades | |||

“I am tardy in responding to your request for parental comment on last summer’s trips, but I want nonetheless to let you know how pleased my husband and I both were with the kids’ experience. Nick in particular benefited even more than we hoped he would. He went into his senior year on an upward wave of enthusiasm, self-confidence, and spirit of adventure that we feel has made a significant contribution to his whole life. He has approached the whole difficult experience of college interviews and applications with a positive approach that we feel is a direct carryover from his trip. And he is taking a much more active and self-confident role in his school than he did before, as well. Increased self-confidence and enthusiasm about his trip have been equally evident in Jeff, and I feel the positive feelings about himself and his experience have made the transition from a small local school to a large regional high school much easier for him to deal with. As for Peter, he enjoyed his trip and did some valuable growing up as well, although he is not ready to make such significant strides in that area as the two older boys. We have been recommending your program to other families. I hope you will be hearing from them.” Mrs. Timothy Fohl |
