College Trek
College/Young Adult 6-Day Trek
Similar to Teen Trek, but with added adventure and multiple opportunities for building new friendships. Groups of 20 young adults from colleges and universities throughout the U.S. spend 6 days (5 days in the wilderness). College/Young Adult Trek has the same strong spiritual emphasis as Teen Trek, however, the individual Solo times and group devotional times are altered to optimize the capabilities of young adults.
On College/Young Adult Treks, participants enjoy the option of more than one summit attempt and an enhanced food package. Also included in the cost of College/Young Adult Trek is one night's stay in a motel or lodge, after returning to the Trek base camp. White water rafting can also be added (see Pack & Paddle).
College/Young Adult groups can come at any time during the summer, however, the first three weeks of August are set aside on the Trek calendar as College Weeks.
The fee* for College/Young Adult 6-Day Trek is $ 365 per person, if a final balance is submitted by May 5, 2008, or $ 390 per person, if a final balance is submitted after May 5, 2008.
