Overview

We provide custom wilderness trips for school groups seeking a more advanced challenge, or a specific program that can match the curriculum back at school. For returning Outdoor Classroom participants, a custom trip provides more technical outdoor skills instruction, a chance to visit the more remote areas of Maine, and provide an orientation/bonding experience the students will never forget. Many schools use our custom wilderness trips as a capstone adventure to finish the school year.
