Testimonials

Adults:

“It’s impossible to summarize the BCM trip in a single quote. How can you capture on paper the symphonic sound of 9 people laughing? Words cannot describe the joy of accomplishment in the teens’ eyes when they discover strength they didn’t realize they had. The BCM trip is not something you can just read and understand; you simply must experience it yourself.”

“All teens on my trip experienced significant personal growth through overcoming the physical and emotional challenges presented by a multi-night backcountry trip. This experience affirmed my belief that the outdoors can be a powerful tool for facilitating invaluable life lessons.”
