Texas Big Bend and Boundary Waters Leadership Semester

Our 72 day Texas Big Bend and Boundary Waters Leadership Semester takes students out of the classroom – and into the world.

These courses are all about cultivating independence, developing technical skills, and engaging with the people and places around them. Learn from the best Instructors in the industry.

Tackle challenges alongside a supportive crew of motivated peers. Amidst rugged natural landscapes, learn to lead and to follow; to give and receive feedback; and to trust in your own capabilities.

This expedition provides an outstanding opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the rugged landscapes of the Rio Grande and Boundary Water wilderness areas.

Intercept Expeditions
Intercept Expeditions are specifically designed for families with teens struggling at home or in school.

This highly structured and facilitated program removes students from the pressures and influences of home and school, and instead presents them with the healthy risks and real challenges of the natural world. Intercept courses focus on communication, conflict resolution and decision making tools..


28-day and 50-day Fall Expeditions are now Enrolling. Rebuild strong, healthy family relationships in an awe-inspiring true American wilderness.

At the end of the wilderness expedition there is an intensive family seminar and conference that helps families leverage the experience into a model for everyday life.  Families will walk away with a new outlook, a new plan and new optimism for success as a family.
