About Apogee Adventures
Apogee offers summer outdoor adventure programs to teenagers. We provide students with well-designed hiking, biking, community service, and writing programs varying in length from one to four weeks in spectacular locations throughout the world. Other activities include sea kayaking, surfing, snorkeling, ice climbing, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting.
We travel in small, supportive, mixed-gender groups led by dynamic, responsible, and well-trained leaders. In this environment, Apogee’s primary goals are for students to experience a strong sense of community, build their confidence, and gain a greater appreciation for the outdoors. Working together with their group, students will push themselves to learn about themselves and achieve new heights.
We want our students to return home with a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence that carries over into all aspects of life - and we strive for our staff to gain as much from these experiences as our students.
