  • bike_crk_cross_0One Week Mountain Biking Trip – This 7 Day program is a spin off of what some of you will remember as our Rock & Roll trip.  While that trip was struggling to gain interest we thought that if we just left the rock climbing to the Rock & Jam trip then we could really do some awesome mountain biking.  This trip will take you to key single track spots in south west Virginia, such as:  Carvin’s Cove, Douthat State Park, and Pandapas Pond.
  • truc-is-a-show-offOne Week Kayaking Trip – This week long specialty trip will allow you to get many of the highlights of the Go With the Flow without all the cost.  Since this is our first year running this program we are offering it much below its value.  If this trip runs again next year it will definitely be going up in price so get it while you can!  Learn to wet exit, t-rescue, roll your kayak, swift water rescue techniques and more.  Then test your new found skills on up to class III rapids on the New River.
  • hes-lost-controlLeadership Training Course - Many of our participants come back year after year as campers, aspiring to one day join the ranks of the amazing Wilderness Adventure staff.  The leadership training course provides participants ages 17 and up the chance to transition with this apprenticeship program.  Participants will go through a thorough one week training where they will be evaluated  on their dedication and motivation.  If they are deemed ready for our apprentice program then they will have the opportunity to shadow activity instructors of their choice and even potentially co-lead a summer trip.
