The Olympic Mountain Expedition is a 4-day adventure for male (or male-identifying) teens who are ready to challenge themselves and deepen their wilderness skills. This program includes an orientation evening and one day of pre-trip training and planning, followed by a four-day backpacking expedition in Washington’s rugged Olympic Mountains.
Students will carry their own packs, travel through mountain terrain, and camp in the backcountry while learning essential backpacking skills and backcountry safety. This is not a casual hike—it is a rigorous adventure that builds resilience, teamwork, and confidence.
Along the way, students will practice many of the skills taught at CedarRoot, including foraging, animal tracking, and fire-making, while also receiving an introduction to basic rock climbing skills in a mountain environment.
This expedition is ideal for teens seeking a true backcountry challenge and a deeper connection with the natural world.
Ages:
13-16
Dates:
June 29th-July 2nd
Pre-trip training dates:
Sunday, June, 14th and an and an evening prior TBD
Tuition:
$1,650 (full and partial scholarships available)
