Commonly Asked Questions
Will I have to carry all my gear on my back for two weeks?
No. We operate out of several basecamps throughout Colorado and Wyoming. The expedition team takes day trips including rafting, hiking, horseback riding and more. The location of these basecamps allows access to some of the most beautiful remote places out west.
What is the weather like?
The average daily summer temperatures are around 75-80 degrees with low humidity. Evenings can be cool with lows in the 30-40s.
What is a typical day like?
Each morning we wake with coffee, hot chocolate and breakfast! Mornings begin with a daily devotional and then campers get ready for the next adventure. Students rotate as a group each day to plan and perform needed tasks such as cooking, navigating, gear cleaning and more. Daily team meetings help us prepare for the next great adventure. There are rest days scheduled for washing clothes, taking showers, resting and enjoying each other’s company. Each evening we sit around a fire or next to a lake for great conversations during our small group time.
Rocky Mountains Basecamp: Our first few days will be spent just outside the Rocky Mountain National Park. You’ll stay in tentalos in a beautiful camp located in Estes Park, Colorado. You’ll have time to get to know each other more, learn technical camp & cooking skills, and explore the Rocky Mountain National park!
Grand Teton National Park: You and your new friends will travel north to go camping in the Tetons for your next adventure. You’ll raft the Snake River, go on incredible hikes, and attend a rodeo in Jackson Hole.
Yellowstone National Park: You’ll bring a picnic lunch and spend a full day exploring the beauty and wonders of Yellowstone.
Before traveling home you’ll return to the Rockies basecamp for horseback riding and dinner out in downtown Estes Park, Colorado.
