wilderness expeditions

Wilderness expeditions are organized journeys into remote, undeveloped natural areas, typically lasting multiple days and requiring participants to be largely self-sufficient.

These trips may involve hiking, canoeing, mountaineering, or other backcountry travel, and often have purposes ranging from recreation and personal challenge to scientific research or survival training.

The summer program sent teenagers on wilderness expeditions to build leadership skills.

Outfitters and guide services offer wilderness expeditions for those who lack the experience to venture out alone.
