Excited to announce this collaboration with world class guides at TSX Challenge to offer a teen backpacking trip in the John Muir Wilderness, June 25-30, 2024.
Participants are in for a life-changing week of fun and hands-on experiential learning focused on outdoor leadership, environmental stewardship, and life skills.
Big Tree Youth will help lead the trip and is providing financial assistance to make this great trip more accessible to all.

In it's first full year, Big Tree Youth:
- financially supported 25 campers in full or in part attend sleepaway camp programs.
- put on a weeklong teen leadership backpacking trip with the YMCA completely free to 10 local teen leaders.
- presented leadership training to teen groups in Los Angeles and Sacramento
- sponsored a teen leadership retreat for a dozen teens.
- provided volunteers to a variety of youth programs.
We love to tell people about the positive difference youth programs make in the lives of kids. And we love adventuring. Follow us at these Instagram accounts:
