Camp Fees: We try to keep our fees at a minimum so that teens from all walks of life can experience this incredible expedition. We realize we could charge a lot more, but we are committed to environmental education and to giving back to the earth. We believe that teens will live what they learn and will take with them an appreciation for the outdoors given this opportunity and will protect it in their futures. On average, our expeditions cost $495 per camper per week. This includes 5 nights, 4 full days and 2 ½ days of activities plus food and provisions. Mountain Bikes, Tents and sleeping bags available for an additional nominal fee. We donate 10% of our proceeds to environmental organizations as our mission is to provide nature tours for the preservation of the environment.
