Roads to New Relationships

Volunteer Opportunities >>


"...a middle-level education should include as many exploratory experiences as possible. Trekkers certainly supplies that opportunity with hiking, spelunking, canoeing, and other safe risk-taking activities. And, of course, the best part of Trekkers is the long-lasting relationships that form among the members of all ages. These connections provide a solid foundation from which a young person can grow into adulthood and a safety net for when times are tough. I hope we always have this program available to our community's kids."
