Teaching the foundations of adventure!
New Treks focuses on Education, Recreation, and Job creation. We work in Title 1 schools, low income and diverse, in which we provide accredited outdoor education classes for grades K-12. These classes range from environmental science to outdoor recreation. After building the knowledge, comfort, and skills in the classroom we put them into practical use. Facilitating full day adventures that promote teamwork, self-growth, and group management our youth learn how to become leaders. Then we create a paid internship program where our high school students work with us over the summer providing programming to behavioral health and low-income housing youth.
ADVENTURE WITHIN REACH
How do we define adventure?
Adventure is simply going outside your comfort zone and exploring something new. It can be a walk in your local park to summiting the highest peak. We teach the life skills to prepare you for any adventure!
