Summer Youth Expeditions

These highly intentional adventures are designed to foster powerful personal development and to forge resilience and emerging leadership talents.

The Summer Youth Expeditions are a newly cultivated collection of co-ed character-driven adventures for teens aged 14–18.

Delivered by our trusted educational partners at Fireside Adventures, these programs invite youth to leave the comfort of home and boldly venture out into the wider world where they will meet new travel companions who will undoubtedly become life-long friends. 
 
The Summer Youth Expeditions are aligned with Crescent's core values and help young people learn about different cultures, become engaged citizens, and build leadership skills while having unforgettable adventures.
 
Through these signature adventures, students will have the opportunity to earn community service hours through compelling stewardship projects and cross-cultural work with Indigenous Knowledge Keepers under the supervision of expert guides and wilderness instructors.
 
These programs have been designed to help young people build their confidence and acquire essential interpersonal skills that will help set them up for a lifetime of success.
 
Summer Youth Expeditions qualify students for their Duke of Edinburgh Silver and Gold Adventurous Journeys.
