Designed especially for young teens, this classic Colorado adventure is a true multi-sport experience. Discover AAVE, adventure, personal growth and friendship this summer!

Colorado is known for its high-adrenaline sports, and we jump right in with two days of whitewater rafting through the world-famous Brown's Canyon. Professional river guides help us navigate class III & IV rapids as we pass massive 14,000-foot peaks and camp on the shores of the Arkansas River.

The excitement continues as we scale granite cliffs during two days of technical rock climbing school. Professional climbers teach us the essentials of this awesome sport, with instruction geared towards participants of all ability levels.

Next, we head deep into the Rockies for high-country trekking in the awe-inspiring Collegiate Peaks Wilderness to pristine mountain lakes and towering waterfalls. We practice wilderness living, backcountry safety, and "Leave No Trace" camping methods.

We then make our way to Crested Butte for a day of mountain biking. Near Aspen, we work on an environmental give-back project with a local nature center. Finally, we saddle up for an overnight horseback adventure with real Colorado cowboys. We trot above the vast South Park Range to our backcountry campsite where campfires, s'mores and star-filled skies await!
