Trail Magic Adventures strives to spark and foster a deeper connection with nature, with others, and within each individual. While Adventurers are developing friendships, learning new backcountry skills, and having some good old-fashioned fun, they are growing in more ways than they may realize. By sharing in the challenges and joys of the outdoors within a small, supportive community, these adolescents are naturally cultivating their collaboration, leadership, communication, and other life skills. By letting students step out of their comfort zones with the guidance of thoughtful leaders, we are helping our youth grow into more well-rounded and confident young adults. Safety is always in the forefront and foreseeable risks are managed in a way that gives students the opportunity to learn how to recognize risk and respond appropriately. Shared responsibility and a culture of respect is emphasized by caring guides whose goal is to make every Adventurer feel welcomed and appreciated in the trail family.
