Gratitude from the youth
“I couldn’t see thirty feet in front of me due to the mist…
I looked up at a nearby rock formation, and there was a bald eagle perched on the highest point on the peak. It felt as though the eagle was sitting out the solo with me. I was inspired to sit like that bird; calm, confident, and silent.”

“I strongly believe in the power wilderness can have on youth, especially in this day and age.
Journeys trips are truly life-changing. They teach youth leadership, responsibility, trust, teamwork and self-growth through in-depth councils and basic wilderness skills. The guides on the trip were powerful role models and respected and treated us like adults. I'm incredibly grateful to have been able to spend such a full 3 weeks in the beautiful outdoors….”

“I really felt that I was welcomed into young womanhood.
This journey had awesome guides…. They treated us like adults and let us help out with everything that needed to be done. I grew to be confident and became a much more open person. I think that that will help me a lot in relationships with people.”
