Learn backcountry expedition techniques, leadership skills and navigation as you move through the diverse ecosystems, high mountain ridges and waterfall-laden streams of the Dolly Sods Wilderness. Then head to the Potomac River, where you’ll work with a partner to learn the art of paddling, read a map and compass and navigate a variety of river features. After 12 exhilarating days, return home with a renewed belief in your abilities, an adventure story of a lifetime and bolstered teamwork and leadership skills. Wild, wonderful West Virginia invites students to explore the remote regions of “The Mountain State.” West Virginia is approximately 75% forestland and contains 2,029 miles of named trails.
