Alasksan Expedition for Teeangers

Are you tired of seeing your teens spending their days on their phones? Do you want them to see the world and experience creation? An Alaskan Adventure with Created for Adventure is the solution.

What Your Teens Can Expect on an Alaskan Expedition 

Your teens will be tent camping in some of the most beautiful campsites in Alaska, including Denali National Park. 

Experience new adventures with friends while hiking and exploring glaciers, ice climbing, and whitewater rafting. They'll visit the Kenai Fjords National Park by boat to view orcas, humpback whales, seals, and more! 

This experience offers opportunities for all skill levels. They'll learn technical skills, including backcountry cooking, orienteering, wildlife safety, and more!

What Is a Day Like on an Alaskan Expedition?

Each day begins with a cup of coffee or some hot chocolate, and a hearty breakfast. Campers start their mornings with a devotional before getting ready for the day's activities. A different group of students is responsible for organizing and carrying out a series of tasks, such as cooking, navigating, cleaning equipment, and more. 

We have daily team meetings to get ready for our next big adventure. We take time off to relax and spend time together so that we can do things like wash our clothes and take showers on rest days. Each evening we are around a fire, next to a river, or on a glacier and share great conversations during our small group time.
