Do Something Different

Teen Adventures (Ages 13 – 17)

Imagine a kayak adventure down the Russian River. Make new friends, learn new skills, build confidence, and push yourself to new limits along the way. And experience nature off the beaten path!

The truth is, teens spend less time outdoors than ever before in history. And teens are more anxious and worried than ever before. Yet, time in nature has proven mental and physical health benefits. Studies have shown that connecting with nature cuts down on anxiety and depression.

Add a good dose of friendship and belonging and you have a recipe for success! That’s why LandPaths offers exceptional outdoor experiences to all teens.

Do something different this summer. Join us for a teen trek!

These sounds surround me as I work in the Ocean Song grassland, homeland of the southern Pomo, alongside the twenty-five other individuals who participated in the Queer Forestry and Fire Program. These are the sounds of community, connection, and care for the land and each other that we created in this program.
