Choosing an adventure with Scott’s program helps sustain their mission of supporting youth, families, and disadvantaged communities through positive experiences in America’s National Parks and natural spaces.
We were a group of 7 family members (ages 22-65 years old), for all of us was our first hiking/backpacking/camping experience. We all have such an amazing yet challenging experience, it was really worthy! Thank you so much to our guides Nicole and Jack for your cheers, your spirit, your cooking, your yoga time, your knowledge and for doing this family trip so great! We really enjoy it!!
