Throughout the course students will be introduced to the joys and challenges of expeditionary backpacking while traveling in the unique ecosystems of Western North Carolina. New activities, crewmates and environments help to break habits and patterns as well as coach students on discovering the next positive steps in their lives.

Sometimes you don’t know where you want to go in life until you spend a few weeks in the middle of nowhere. Pathfinder expeditions give you time and space to understand what’s important to you and the skills to get there. Over the next 30 days, you’ll rise to meet natural challenges, becoming accustomed to setting goals, making decisions, and recovering from set-backs, all of which help clarify bigger choices that await you in life beyond your course.
